One America: At Home With Diversity
The National Association of Realtors ® (NAR) has developed a comprehensive cultural diversity outreach program that will help real estate companies diversify their workplaces and improve the National Association's relevance to minority real estate professionals. At the same time, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in conjunction with President Clinton's "Initiative on Race", is sponsoring efforts to implement the concept of One America as descried by the President. NAR and HUD undertook the joint effort to certify real estate professionals who are trained in cultural diversity and outreach and have made a commitment to a set of diversity principles. The training, built on the letter and spirit of the Fair Housing Act, provides participants with tools to build diversity outreach into their business plans and help open up markets to minorities and others who historically have had limited housing choices.
