The San Francisco Association of REALTORS® announced today that it will use a $3,000 grant from the National Association of Realtors® to support SFAR’s Rise Mentorship Program, a first-of-its-kind mentorship program designed to empower new REALTORS from historically underrepresented communities. Rise mentees are in the initial stage of their real estate career, and priority is given to Black/African American and/or Indigenous/Native American and/or Hispanic/Latino/a/Latinx (BIPOC) individuals.
As part of NAR’s new Fair Housing Action Plan, abbreviated ‘ACT,’ which emphasizes Accountability, Culture Change, and Training to ensure America’s 1.4 million Realtors® are doing everything possible to protect housing rights in America, SFAR is doing our part to solidify the role fair housing plays in our industry and in our communities. Members of the Rise program take part in mentoring sessions that provide a safe space to engage and learn about various real estate topics, including how to avoid the top fair housing mistakes.
NAR offers Fair Housing Grants to state and local Realtor® Associations around the country in effort to support a wide range of activities and initiatives, including fair housing education and curriculum development, fair housing partnerships with local organizations and fair housing commemoration ceremonies and events.
