VAREP Announced the Launch of its Membership Website and the Formation Six Local Chapters

Corona, CA – April 30, 2013

Four of the chapters are in California – Inland Empire, San Diego, Greater Sacramento, and Bay Area – with another in Phoenix and one in Las Vegas.

Membership is open to anyone and is not limited to only those who have served. “Real estate and financial service professionals can share ideas and access valuable resources through our online community including webinars, talk radio, blogs, forum, newsletters and special reports about all things concerning military housing and service-member economic development,” said Son Nguyen, president of VAREP. “Members will have their professional profile listed on VAREP’s professional database for military families to choose from to fulfill their real estate needs.

VAREP’s mission is to increase sustainable housing and economic development among military and veteran communities. VAREP accomplishes its mission through a five-point plan that includes homeownership advocacy, community outreach, professional membership, veteran job creation, and affordable veteran housing.

VAREP, along national and local partners, plan to bring financial workshops tailored to military and veteran communities. VAREP’s online presence, combined with housing events, are ways in which the organization works to bring financial literacy and military housing information to the population it targets.
