The California Association of REALTORS® proudly provides REALTORS® with information
about fair housing best practices, building inclusive businesses and organizations, and promoting more equitable communities.
Fair Housing
Fair Housing
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® supports a diverse, 200,000+ member community
and the diverse communities that those REALTORS® serve. We are committed to protecting and expanding the opportunity for every Californian to sustainably own, use and transfer
real property.
Even with long-standing State, federal and local laws prohibiting discrimination, many communities remain segregated and housing discrimination and barriers to equal housing opportunity persist for communities of color, women, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized communities.
On this site you can find more information about Fair Housing, C.A.R.’s advocacy on behalf of underserved communities and tools to help California REALTORS® support the homeownership needs of all communities.

Diversity and Inclusion Programs
Diversity is a key priority for the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.). This resource page provides information on various programs and projects available.
WomanUP!®
Even though the real estate industry is predominantly female, women are underrepresented in leadership positions at both the brokerage and senior management levels. The goal of C.A.R.’s Women’s Initiative is to create a community where mentors and leaders can communicate, collaborate, advocate for, and support one another.
