Welcome to RGN's 2nd Annual
Canvas of Hope

For this special day, we are supported by Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County to join them for their Annual Parade of Homes

RRAR's REALTOR® Giving Network is partnering with Loyd Builders this year to host this amazing night filled with supporting local artists and our non-profit,

The Carying Place

We will be featuring curated works that will be showcased in a stunning $5M Loyd Builders home during the Parade of Homes taking place October 4-19.

The Carying Place

Cary is thriving — but rising costs are pushing working families out of the community they serve. Teachers, healthcare workers, skilled tradespeople — many can’t afford to live where they work. But our community has a plan— a thoughtful, strategic collaboration is coming to life in Cary.


The Carying Place, in collaboration our partners, DHIC, the YMCA, Greenwood Forest Baptist Church, and the Town of Cary, is launching The Carr Center—a $28 million mixed-use development designed to advance economic mobility by addressing critical shortages in workforce housing and affordable childcare.

The Carr Center offers:
• 11 transitional housing units for homeless working families with children
• 51 affordable rental units managed by DHIC for residents at or below 60%
• Full-day childcare and youth programs provided by GFBC

Childcare Center and the YMCA
•Offices and program space for TCP’s coaching and support services
•Outdoor community gathering areas

To bring this The Carr Center to life,

The Carying Place is raising $9 million to:
✔ Build 11 transitional housing units
✔ Fund expanded operations to serve more families
✔ Construct new offices for The Carying Place on-site

 

Why It Matters Now
As Cary thrives, the people who keep it running are being pushed farther away. Teachers, healthcare workers, and tradespeople — the backbone of our community — are finding it harder to live here. The Carr Center offers housing + tools for progress in a stable, supportive setting.
