When Community Comes Together: White Plains Steps Up for Local Families
In real estate, we often talk about building communities. But what does that really mean? For Jess Watts and the team at White Plains Rand Realty, it means showing up when it matters most.
A Growing Crisis in Our Backyard
Huge thank you to my office of White Plains Rand Realty
for stepping up big for 914Cares.
When food insecurity is up, things like diapers, wipes and onesies become an unattainable option. 1 in 4 Westchester families live in poverty and nearly 4 in 10 school-aged children are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
We believe we can and must do better for every individual. Every child. Every family. For the well-being of all our neighbors and our entire community.
Here in Westchester, 33% of babies in are born into families on Medicaid (Community County Health Assessment), and 2,100 children have experienced homelessness right here in county (NYS Dept of Education).
At a time when resources are low- it’s important those who can, do.
What a whirlwind since I last checked in! For everyone who came out to any (or all!) of the events this spring, thank you for your magic — you truly made them special.
As we jump headfirst into summer, I wanted to share a quick market update with you all.
Every week, I sit down with Fairfield County sellers who are ready to move, but hesitant to list. And when we dig into why, it's rarely about the market or the timing. It's the unknown.
We talk a lot about wanting community, but most of us are waiting for it to find us. The truth is, community isn't something that happens to you. It's something you build, one small choice at a time.
