Natural Disasters
Dedicated to help those affected by these recent natural disasters find resources that can help them rebuild their homes, restart their businesses and regain a sense of stability in their lives. $306 billion dollars were spent for natural disasters in 2017, with over $1 trillion estimated to be in 2018. Renters and Homeowners can gain access to capital for up to $40k and $200k, respectively.

Assisting people over 55 years old to prevent financial abuse before it happens. We aim to ensure proper healthcare is in place and assistance from local programs is obtained if needed. Seniors will receive help reviewing their insurance policies, and real estate and financial portfolios, ensuring the protection of their assets. An estimated $36.5 billion is lost annually in US with only 1 in 44 cases reported, and 90% is committed by a family member or associate.

2018 Women in the Housing Ecosystem Report (WHER)
Earlier this year we released our 2018 Women in the Housing Ecosystem Report (WHER), covering a broad range of women’s issues, from poverty, homeownership, business ownership, C-suite and leadership opportunities, to Family Offices. Reshaping the community is a necessity for economic growth and prosperity. A multiple-volume 2019 WHER is currently in production.
Access to Capital
For the last 15 years, NAWRB has been personally communicating with the leaders in the capital financing field. We help entrepreneurs, businesses, renters and homeowners access capital to reach their unique goals and build their futures. One type of financing does not meet every need in the industry—we can help you find out which one is right for your business.
Opportunity Zones
The Opportunity Zone tax incentive has the potential to have a direct social and economic impact upon underserved communities, benefiting investors, communities and taxpayers alike. It is predicted to be a pivotal catalyst for economic recovery, business development and affordable housing, which could help countless individuals achieve financial stability and economic growth for themselves and future generations.
NAWRB’s decade-long history in social impact through our data analytics, media engagement, connections with senior executives and expert leaders across the housing ecosystem, and involvement in government legislation, drives our ability to facilitate greater returns on communities, helping them thrive and be sustainable for generations to come.
Our primary role in Opportunity Zones is connecting and advising key players on the best way to positively impact distressed communities.
