What can you do to affect change and help build more inclusive communities where everyone lives free of discrimination? You can start by engaging in an open, honest conversation about racial equality at your brokerage, NAR President Vince Malta says in Part II of his latest âPivot in Placeâ video, âRebuilding for Racial Equality.â Not only should you make a commitment to diversity and fair housing, but you also can take other stepsâsuch as partnering with local black-owned businessesâto intentionally promote a message of antihate in your community.
Learn about overriding hidden bias through a fascinating new training video from NAR. And donât forget to look back at Part I of Maltaâs video, released last week, in which he says this moment in our nationâs history is a ânew beginningâ and an opportunity for REALTORS® to reaffirm the pledge that the real estate business is âopen for all.â
In an effort to support positive change, NAR has launched the Community Rebuilding Grant, which provides emergency funding to REALTOR® associations that want to help clean up and repair property damaged that accompanied otherwise peaceful protests. And following through on its principle that homeownership is one of the key paths toward equality, NAR has relaunched its Housing Opportunity Toolkit, which provides guidance and resources to help REALTORS® address affordability challenges in their community. |
