Community Outreach
Enhancing Rural Development Initiatives: NAR’s Rural Outreach Grant
Legislative threats like transfer taxes, residential moratoria, impact fees, and short-term rental regulations can emerge quickly and significantly affect real estate. NAR’s Land Use Initiative (LUI) helps state and local REALTOR® associations stay ahead with no-cost, expert analysis of proposed legislation and now newly enacted measures when no prior input was possible, and amendments are still on the table.
Join this session to learn how to:
- Request an LUI analysis for proposed or recently enacted state and local measures
- Use reports to influence policymakers and stakeholders
- Strengthen your advocacy with expert insights
- Hear real-world success stories from Government Affairs Directors
