Town Hall Event at Philander Smith University

The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), in collaboration with national and local partners, is bringing its 8-City Affordable Homeownership Bus Tour to communities across the country as part of a bold effort to expand access to homeownership, build generational wealth, and help close the racial wealth gap.

From April 25 through May 2, the tour will make stops in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Gary, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, and Tulsa, delivering trusted information, practical tools, and real pathways to ownership directly to the people who need them most.
