Community Resilience

The Southern California wildfires offer a stark reminder of the fragility of our world — and the resilience of our Compass community. Some of our colleagues have lost their homes or face an uncertain future after being forced to evacuate.

If you’d like to help, please consider donating to this relief fund organized by fellow agents. Together, we will overcome this disaster and rebuild.
