LAS VEGAS, NV — An official partner of the Vegas Golden Knights (VGK), the tech-based real estate company Homie announced that it will again partner with the VGK Foundation on “Saves for Charity” to benefit the Las Vegas Coalition to Make Homes Possible.
As part of the philanthropic partnership, the
VGK Foundation will become the first local sports entity to join the Las Vegas
Coalition to Make Homes Possible, which Homie is sponsoring to help close the
Black homeownership gap in Southern Nevada by empowering families with
resources such as down payment assistance, financial coaching, credit repair,
housing counseling, and real estate services, to achieve homeownership over the
next 10 years.

“The Golden Knights Foundation is proud to further their partnership with Homie by joining the Las Vegas Coalition to Make Homes Possible,” said VGK Foundation President Kim Frank.
With “Saves for Charity,” Homie will donate $5
for every VGK goalkeeper save during the 2021- 2022 regular season, and the VGK
Foundation will match Homie’s donation with an additional $5 per save.
“Homie’s mission is to make homeownership easy,
accessible and affordable for all,” said Elias Benjelloun, Head of Social
Impact for Homie.
“We greatly appreciate our partnership with
the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation and that together we can further support
this mission, especially in the valley’s underserved and disadvantaged
communities.”
Last season, “Saves for Charity” raised more
than $22,000 for NID Housing Counseling Agency of Southern Nevada to support
the agency’s housing counseling services.
