Through their contributions to HomeSharing, Semcer and the MICRO team have directly contributed to the organization's success; in just the past year, HomeSharing reports a 19% increase in the number of clients served. "Frank and his colleagues show an unwavering commitment to help HomeSharing prevent homelessness, which has been an inspiration as well as a catalyst for others to follow their lead," said Renee Drell, HomeSharing Executive Director.
For the past 10 years, Semcer and his colleagues have donated their time, effort and financial support to HomeSharing programs, including the coordination of a Holiday Basket drive to benefit families in need.
"It is an honor to be recognized by this unique and impactful organization," said Semcer. "In today's economy, more so than ever, individuals are continually looking for affordable housing. HomeSharing provides an invaluable service, free of charge, which matches those in need of housing with others willing to open their homes. The MICRO team and I are proud to support such a worthwhile cause."
