For 72 years, the HBREA has focused on educating minority communities in homeownership from advocating for fair housing opportunities and fair lending laws to community development and housing construction to free educational workshops.

The gala will also include an award ceremony spotlighting the industry's 20 most accomplished and influential Black real estate professionals. They'll be a keynote address from business mogul Tiana Von Johnson, one of only a few African-American female brokers to make a name for herself on Wall Street.
