This is the final week to submit applications for The National Apartment Association (NAA) Innovation in Diversity Grant (IDI). The program aims to advance diversity and inclusion in the rental housing industry through impactful education and hiring practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAA seeks to \u201cinspire the next generation and strengthen those whom we work and exist to serve.\u201d To do so, NAA has designated $25,000 per fiscal year towards the IDI grant. NAA member associations, property management firms, supplier partners and related organizations are eligible to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a more equitable multifamily industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To qualify, participants are encouraged to align their program objectives with the ideals of the NAA Diversity and Inclusion Vision Statement. Additionally, the proposals must reflect the NAA’s dedication to an inclusive and supportive workforce environment that is rich in diversity. Applicants must propose innovative ideas that will result in meaningful contributions to the multifamily industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

NAA supports projects that fall into three main categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programs should demonstrate methods to improve diversity, inclusion and awareness within the applicant\u2019s organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programs should enhance the presence of diversity among leadership and boards within their organizations. Such programs may create specialized training tracks for marginalized groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D&I Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programs should bolster the presence of underrepresented groups at all levels in the industry. Opportunities may include but are not limited to scholarships and innovative steps towards more equitable hiring practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting finalists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications will be received by the NAA Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Evaluators analyze each applicant\u2019s potential for measurable outcomes, detailed budget, program timeline and support of NAA\u2019s Diversity & Inclusion vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
