Raise funds from the real estate community to design, develop and construct affordable and workforce housing for local employees in Teton County (WY and ID) to retain essential workers and strengthen the community.
The Teton Board of Realtors Community Housing Fund channels real estate closings into affordable and workforce housing projects for Teton County employees and essential workers. Its giving is tied to project funding, with support flowing to organizations that design, develop, and construct housing in Jackson Hole and Teton Valley. Recent grants show that the fund backs both long-standing local housing partners and public-facing housing projects, including Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area and Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust. The fund’s work is place-based and construction-oriented: it raises money from the real estate community and directs those dollars toward housing that can help retain workers in the Teton area. Grants in the record also include support for school-staff housing, showing that education personnel are part of its intended beneficiary base. The pattern suggests a funder focused on practical housing delivery rather than broad program support, with donations designated to specific projects and partner organizations. In the recent grants, Jackson, Wyoming recipients appear repeatedly, alongside support for a housing authority in Driggs, Idaho.
Affordable housing development is the central theme in the fund’s recent giving. It awarded $182,556 to Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area for donation support, and $140,656 to Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust for donation support, both in Jackson, Wyoming. Workforce housing also appears directly in the grant record. The fund supported the Teton County Joint Housing Authority in Driggs, Idaho with $8,950 in 2024 and $6,425 in 2023, linking its grants to housing delivery on the Idaho side of the Teton region. Housing for school staff is another distinct use case. The TCSD Housing Project is described as a low-cost rental effort for Teton County School District staff, with planned 24-unit complexes, placing education employees within the fund’s housing mission.
The typical grant size clusters in the mid-five figures: p25 is $8,319, median is $16,942, and p75 is $72,626. The recent record shows repeated support to some of the same recipients across multiple years, including Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust and Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area, which points to ongoing project support rather than one-time awards. The fund is organized as a community housing fund tied to the Teton Board of REALTORS®, and the active program descriptions indicate donations can be designated at real estate closings or given directly. Grants are project-based and tied to affordable housing development and construction.
