NAR Webinar: Transforming Neighborhoods: Turning Local Challenges into Community Revitalization Success

Description

Communities across the country are facing complex challenges, from aging commercial corridors and vacant properties to housing shortages, downtown disinvestment, and disaster recovery. Learn how your REALTOR® association can become a catalyst for revitalization through NAR's Transforming Neighborhoods program. 

Join representatives from the National Association of REALTORS®, The Counselors of Real Estate® (CRE), and REALTOR® association leaders who have successfully leveraged the program to address real-world community challenges through real estate problem solving. You'll gain an inside look at how the program works, what makes a competitive application, and how the CRE Consulting Corps teams help communities develop practical, market-driven strategies for redevelopment and long-term economic growth. 

Featured case studies will highlight: 

• Spanish Lake, Missouri – Leveraging the future WildCare Park and riverfront assets to advance equitable economic development and neighborhood revitalization. 
• Greensburg, Pennsylvania – Creating a downtown redevelopment strategy focused on adaptive reuse, housing, placemaking, and long-term economic vitality. 

Whether your association is exploring downtown revitalization, adaptive reuse of vacant properties, corridor redevelopment, economic development opportunities, or rebuilding following a natural disaster or environmentally damaged property, this webinar will help you determine whether Transforming Neighborhoods is the right fit for your community. 

Attendees will learn how to: 

• Understand the purpose and benefits of the Transforming Neighborhoods program.
• Identify projects that are well-suited for a CRE Consulting Corps assessment.
• Learn from successful REALTOR® association-led projects and their implementation strategies.
• Prepare for the 2027 Transforming Neighborhoods application cycle, opening in early December.
