Littleton, NH — As has been a tradition for many years, Badger Peabody & Smith Realty has provided support to Affordable Housing Education and Development (AHEAD) in a unique way. The buyers and sellers they work with throughout the year agree to have their escrow funds placed in an interest-bearing account, with 100% of the interest going to AHEAD to support their many housing-related projects to the residents of Grafton and Coos Counties. At the end of each year, Badger Peabody & Smith Realty doubles the impact by matching the interest earned.

Badger Peabody & Smith Realty, Broker/Owner Andy Smith said "This is a unique program we started over 20 years ago - this check represents our match of the interest we earn and donate to AHEAD each month from our Client Escrow account. In cooperation with our over 850 customers and clients we helped buy or sell real estate in 2022, we are delighted to be able to provide AHEAD a total of $5468.42 in 2022."

Harrison Kanzler, Executive Director of AHEAD said, "This annual investment into our community by Badger Peabody & Smith Realty has helped AHEAD and its residents to work in and support the North Country of New Hampshire. Our partnership has helped us in many ways and I look forward to continuing it into the future."

Established in 1991, AHEAD Inc. is a community-based, non-profit housing development organization dedicated to strengthening families throughout northern New Hampshire by helping them build and preserve assets for the future.
