Croushore, a Pittsburgh resident, will be serving on PHFA’s 14-member board of directors, which sets policy and oversees the organization’s operations.

PHFA’s mission is to make the Commonwealth a better place to live while fostering community and economic development. The agency provides the capital for decent, safe and affordable homes and apartments for older adults and persons of modest means.

Croushore said he was honored to be appointed to the PHFA Board and believes it provides Realtors® another venue to help consumers in the commonwealth.

“Policies and decisions made by the board can impact the balance of many factors that influence the housing market. It’s important to make housing affordable to the agency’s target groups, while at the same time maintaining the balance that creates a healthy housing market and a healthy mortgage-money supply,” Croushore said.

Croushore, who has been a Realtor® for 38 years and a broker for 35 years, said that having a Realtor® on the board brings another perspective to its decision-making process.

“Realtors® have their finger on the pulse of housing and mortgage activity. Having a representative from the real estate industry can help educate other Realtors® and consumers about programs available through PHFA,” he added.

Croushore will serve with the secretary of Banking, the secretary of Community and Economic Development, the secretary of Public Welfare and the state treasurer; three members appointed by the majority and minority leaders of the State Senate and House of Representatives and six private citizens appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate.
