Possessing the “At Home with Diversity” National Certification, Lenny and Barbara Harris embrace the objectives of both The National Association of REALTORS® vision and the 1997 President’s initiative as described below.
-
According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), "For many families homeownership serves as a stepping stone to prosperity and represents the American way of life. Expanding homeownership will strengthen our nation's families and communities. NAR publicly promotes the REALTOR’S® role in providing equal and affordable housing opportunities for ALL Americans through a variety of programs: The At Home with Diversity: One America Certification, the Cultural Diversity Program, and a host of outreach and educational initiatives. The National Association of REALTORS® has a vision of ‘REALTORS® being the leaders in a culturally diverse real estate market’."
-
Back in 1997, the President introduced: "One America in the 21st Century: The President's Initiative on Race”. This initiative hoped to build:
-
a community of all Americans where there is "opportunity for all and responsibility for all"
-
"A diverse democratic community in which we respect—even celebrate differences, while embracing the shared values that unite us"
