The Poconos Association of Vacation Rental Owners (Poconos VRO) is proud to be one of the inaugural recipients of a $20,000 Sustainability Grant from the Right to Rent Collaborative (R2RC) — a national not-for-profit working to empower local short-term rental (STR) associations through funding, education, and advocacy support.

This funding represents a major step forward for Poconos VRO, allowing the organization to build long-term capacity and invest in the infrastructure necessary to continue fighting for fair, balanced, and transparent STR policies across the region.

“As local regulations become more complex and HOAs grow increasingly restrictive, owners and managers need a seat at the table,” said Ricky Cortez, VP of Advocacy for Poconos VRO. “This grant helps us formalize the backbone of our organization — from education and outreach to day-to-day operations — so we can keep showing up for our members and our community.”

The Sustainability Grant is part of R2RC’s first round of funding, made possible by industry leaders including Airbnb, Vrbo, Proper Insurance®, Breezeway, Inhabit®, Avalara, and more.
