The Bob Murray Housing With Love Walk is a seven-day walk spanning the length of Cape Cod. The walk benefits 11 local non-profits, raising money and awareness for Cape Cod housing agencies. The 22nd annual Bob Murray Housing With Love Walk will begin on Monday, July 14, 2014 in Provincetown and end on Sunday, July 20, in Falmouth. Your help is needed more than ever to meet the housing needs on Cape Cod and the Islands.

Until last year, Bob Murray, founder of the Falmouth Housing Corporation and other vital Cape Cod organizations, walked the entire length of Cape Cod, through all 15 towns to raise money and awareness for a variety of housing programs. When Bob conceived of the Walk 22 years ago, he was a grant writer at the Housing Assistance Corporation and was trying to help the organization match a state housing grant. That initial year, $28,000 was raised and since its inception, the Housing with Love Walk has continued to raise more than $3.6 million to help local agencies provide housing and prevent homelessness on Cape Cod. These agencies offer emergency shelter, outreach and mentoring. They build housing and conduct energy upgrades that help clients stay warm and save money. They provide classes in financial literacy, budgeting and credit repair as well as workshops for first-time home buyers.

With your support, the Housing with Love Walk has helped tens of thousands not only secure safe housing, but create the homes that will help them become healthy, productive members of our community.

The Walk was renamed the Bob Murray Housing with Love Walk in honor of the founder of this important fundraiser. Bob was a passionate and effective housing advocate whose impact has extended far beyond the Cape. Bob founded this walk in 1993 and walked every year for 20 years and continues to be an inspiration to those who worked with him to create better housing opportunities for all across the Cape.

Corporate Sponsorships start at $250. Please contact Susan Roettig at HECH – susan@hech.org or 508-432-0015 x 102 if you would like to walk, sponsor or donate.
