WHAT:
The time for action on Black Wealth is now! NAREB is working with our local South Florida Board of Realtists board to host the NAREB Black Wealth Tour – Community Wealth Building Day for Miami Gardens. Our Outreach Partners for the event include the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, the African American Mayors Association, Inc., the Divine 9, and the National Bar Association, all working collaboratively to educate and inspire our community to purchase real estate. In more than 100 cities, NAREB will organize classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling with lawyers, agents/brokers, and lenders to help residents learn to build wealth. The HUD-approved NID Housing Counseling Agency will provide consumers free credit reports and counseling. The goal of the Miami Gardens event is to give Black residents the information they need to build wealth and get answers to their questions on how to buy a house. The Black-White wealth gap is so expansive that the 400 wealthiest Americans control the same amount of wealth as all 48 million Blacks living in the U.S. There are 2 million mortgage-ready Black Americans who don't yet own houses. NAREB explains why they should be homeowners. From 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., consumers can have one-on-one meetings with Real estate professionals and housing counselors to prepare for homeownership. Sessions will include:
