Santa Barbara County Based Company Pledges Million Dollars To Hurricane Harvey Relief

A Santa Barbara-based company is pledging a million dollars to help in Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, as well as technical support for people who have been displaced.

Yardi has pledged a million dollars up-front to help nonprofits involved in rebuilding, and company officials say they will also match employees contributions to the effort.

Additionally, Yardi says it will use its “Rent Café” online property marketing and leasing technology to create a housing registry website.

Housing providers will be able to post listings at no charge, and prospective residents will also be able to use it for free.

The company will also provide a messaging system to allow property owners to communicate with displaced residents.

Lance Orozco has been News Director of KCLU since 2001, providing award-winning coverage of some of the biggest news events in the region, including the Thomas and Woolsey brush fires, the deadly Montecito debris flow, the Borderline Bar and Grill attack, and Ronald Reagan's funeral.
