Government Relations

NAWRB monitors existing and proposed legislation including regulations and agency policies that can improve the access of women-owned businesses to vendor and government contracting opportunities, decrease women’s poverty levels and increase women’s homeownership levels and advance opportunities for women to lead in all areas of the real estate and housing ecosystem.

We work alongside government organizations to advance the increased use of women-owned businesses across all platforms. Additionally, we assess regulations and agency policies to provide insight that can improve the access of women-owned businesses to vendors and we look for government contracting opportunities for women. We regularly conduct outreach to federal organizations, carry out interviews with leading industry figures and leads campaigns supporting the advancement of women in business. This outreach includes uniting our members and C-suite executives with directors from the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the Small Business Administration (SBA) and more.
