REALTORS have the opportunity to drive positive change in their communities through various grants designed to support housing initiatives, public space revitalization, and more. These resources aim to empower REALTORS as community partners.
Fair Housing Grants are available to state and local REALTOR associations for activities that promote fair housing and homeownership opportunities. "Level 2 Fair Housing grants support activities that address fair housing issues in a community," encouraging collaboration with local agencies.
Housing Opportunity Grants assist REALTOR associations in expanding access to affordable housing. Level 2 grants focus on broad-reaching community activities, while Level 3 grants support new or enhanced projects involving non-REALTOR partners.
Smart Growth Grants aid associations in advancing programs aligned with Smart Growth Principles. Level 1 grants educate stakeholders on smart growth topics, while Level 2 supports engagement in land-use and transportation issues. Level 3 grants back comprehensive initiatives with long-term impacts.
Placemaking Grants fund projects that create new outdoor public spaces or improve existing ones. Level 1 grants test project viability, and Level 2 funds create accessible public spaces like parks and gardens.
