  SPAAR to Host Walkable Communities "Walkshop"

SPAAR’s Community Engagement Committee hosted a meeting today to discuss potential partnerships with the City of Saint Paul in a Walkable Communities “Walkshop.” This is part of the National Association of REALTORS® SmartGrowth initiative. The meeting was attended by Committee members and representatives from Saint Paul’s Department of Public Works, Police Department and City Council. Participants in the Walkshop will learn about Walkable Communities, and then tour a neighborhood to see how Walkable Communities can address problems. Want to learn more? Contact SPAAR to get involved.

 
 

2017 Fair Housing Month Poster Contest: Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

It’s not too early to be thinking about this year’s Fair Housing Month Poster Contest! Details are now available for this year’s contest. Please share this information with teachers, schools and daycare programs in SPAAR’s area. It is a great way to start a discussion about Fair Housing and Equal Housing Opportunities, and a fun way for individual students and classes to be eligible to win prizes. The Fair Housing Month Poster Contest is sponsored by SPAAR’s Diversity Committee.

2017 Calendars featuring posters from last year’s contest are available at any SPAAR location, for a requested donation of only $5.00 (while supplies last). Your donation supports efforts to promote diversity in homeownership and in the real estate industry.
