As North Central Jersey Association of Realtors (NCJAR), we would like to express our deepest appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for joining us in celebrating Disability Pride Month in July. This special occasion serves as a poignant reminder to honor the diversity and uniqueness of the disability community, recognizing the strength and resilience that individuals with disabilities bring to our society.
Your unwavering support and active participation not only demonstrate your commitment to inclusivity, but also highlight our collective dedication to creating a more accessible and equitable world. By coming together, we are fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive and contribute their talents and perspectives.
School supplies are essential for a successful education. Unfortunately, many students don't have access to the necessary materials they need – that's why we're asking you to join us in donating school supplies from July 1st - July 31st!
We’re collecting items such as notebooks, pens and pencils, erasers, backpacks, calculators and more. Help students in need to make a positive contribution to your community.
Every donation helps, and no amount is too small! Whether you’re buying supplies for one student or a whole classroom, we’ll make sure that every item gets into the hands of someone who needs it.
On behalf of the team here at NCJAR, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your attendance at our Happy Hour event held on July 20th at Tommy's Tavern + Tap. Your presence contributed to the vibrant atmosphere of the evening, making it a memorable occasion for all involved. We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we enjoyed hosting it. Thank you once again for your attendance and we look forward to welcoming you to future NCJAR events.
Questions:
Every year, disability advocacy organizations around the world celebrate Disability Pride Month. The month-long celebration is held every July in the United States to raise awareness and promote the various contributions of people with disabilities. In real estate, it is important to understand and support individuals with disabilities to provide them with safe and accessible housing. So as NCJAR joins the global community in celebrating Disability Pride Month, let's take a moment to look at how the real estate industry can be more welcoming to people with disabilities.
The Fair Housing Act (FHA) of 1968, as amended in 1988, prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all aspects of real estate transactions, including rental, sale, and financing of housing. The law requires realtors to make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities to ensure that they receive housing opportunities like everyone else. To comply, realtors must understand what constitutes a reasonable accommodation, how to request an accommodation, and the requirements and limitations under the FHA.
