Description
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) runs Housing Opportunity Grants to expand access to affordable housing and position REALTORS® as community leaders. The program supports efforts to educate members and the public, build coalitions with community stakeholders, and collaborate with agencies and organizations addressing housing affordability challenges.
Three funding levels support different scopes of work: educational classes and stakeholder meetings, activities with broad community reach, and comprehensive partnership initiatives with growth potential. Housing studies and analyses can fit Level 2, while Level 3 emphasizes significant REALTOR® participation and collaboration with non-REALTOR® organizations. The program’s goal is to create or improve systems, programs, and policies that expand affordable housing opportunities.
