Benefit of Membership
When you become a member of WI-CARH, you gain access to important tools, information, and services. You have opportunities to meet industry leaders. The greatest benefit of becoming an WI-CARH member, however, is that you align yourself with a diverse group of business people involved in every sector of the affordable housing community.
WI-CARH members include builders, developers, lenders, management companies, owners, non-profit agencies as well as other companies that supply products to the affordable housing industry. WI-CARH is committed to supporting their goals, CARH’s goals, and yours.
