Description
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) provides Fair Housing Grants to state and local REALTOR® associations to strengthen the role of fair housing in the real estate industry and in communities. Funding supports education, outreach, and initiatives that increase awareness of fair housing laws, reduce barriers to housing, and foster inclusive communities, with the goal of promoting equal housing opportunities for all.
The grants are part of NAR’s Community Development Advocacy Program, which helps associations advocate for their communities and address local challenges. The broader program combines grants, expert guidance, research, and practical resources to support association-led community efforts. Its grant progression supports both initial learning and convening activities and broader engagement, collaboration, and problem-solving.
