Join CAAR for our Equity in Motion - A Fair Housing Symposium, proudly hosted by the DEI Committee — a meaningful and energizing gathering centered on equity, awareness, and forward progress in housing.
 

This year’s symposium invites you into a space of connection and community as we engage in important conversations about the barriers that continue to impact housing access for the Black and African American communities. Together, we’ll explore how systemic challenges show up in lending, appraisal practices, land use policy, and neighborhood investment — and what we can do about it.
 

While the heart of the event is education and dialogue, we’ll also celebrate the richness of our Black community/ African American community with traditional food, refreshing drinks, and a little line dancing to bring us together in joy.
 

Come ready to learn, reflect, connect, and leave inspired to be part of meaningful change.
