25 YEARS.
Thousands of initiatives.
Countless communities changed.
What began as a response to land use challenges and affordability is now a coast-to-coast catalyst for housing access, smart growth and economic vitality. Through NAR’s Community Development Advocacy (formerly Community Outreach program), Associations and NAR members convene neighbors and officials, unlock grants, shape plans and policy, and deliver the infrastructure and opportunity that strengthen communities.
