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 community/African American community. 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.
