Please help us support Northwest Indiana communities
For many years, GNIAR has supported local organizations that help individuals with various housing issues. The need has only grown during the economic downturn. We need our REALTOR® members and Affiliates now more than ever to join us in the fight to end homelessness.
We invite you to join us, along with the Home Builders Association of Northwest Indiana and Indiana Mortgage Bankers Association as we take part in two wonderful community events this June as the NEWLY created "HOUSING INDUSTRY TEAM."

Second Annual Housing Industry Team's Fundraiser
Join us for the Housing Industry Team's (collaboration of Greater Northwest Indiana Association of REALTORS®, Home Builders Association of Northwest Indiana and Indiana Mortgage Bankers Association) fundraiser to benefit Housing Opportunities.
The Emerging Leaders Network (ELN) is a collaboration among Northwest Indiana leadership groups, including Emerge South Shore, NWI Leaders Young Professional Group, the Urban League NWI Young Professionals and Young Leaders United.
The group is joining forces to host an event as a call to action for the local funds needed for the South Shore Rail Line expansion to become a reality. Between 1970 and 2012, the population of Lake County fell by 9.6 percent, the median income decreased by 15.3 percent and the median age increased by 43 percent.
These trends are occurring because Northwest Indiana has been unable to retain and attract young people in Northwest Indiana. Young professionals are choosing to live elsewhere, including Chicago and its environs in Illinois.
Honored Guest Speaker: Congressman Peter J. Visclosky
