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.
