NAREB activated the Building Black Wealth Tour initiative to encourage more families and individuals to purchase homes. Working with the African American Mayors Association and the National Bar Association, the events in more than 100 cities nationwide empower Black communities with steps towards homeownership, property investment, starting a business, and other wealth-building opportunities. Each event includes classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling. Other partners include Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
NAREB President Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose believes the NAREB Building Black Wealth Tour and other initiatives help overcome historical challenges to Black homeownership, such as discriminatory lending practices and unequal access to wealth-building opportunities. The tour, with stops in more than 100 cities, directly brings valuable information about homeownership and wealth building into communities.
Interested attendees must register at no cost to attend in-person.
