成立于2003年, the 美国亚洲2021十大正规彩票app协会 (AREAA) promotes sustainable homeownership for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders by advocating for AAPI communities and real estate professionals.

The nonprofit trade organization has four Texas chapters and welcomes professionals who want to do business with Asian communities in the U.S. and abroad, says Dawn Lin, Houston chapter founding president and chairwoman emeritus.

“亚裔美国人希望被听到, and AREAA provides a channel to voice our thoughts to elected officials. It is important to show up in the halls of government and to show that we care,” Lin says.

The Asian American and Pacific Islander population is composed of many different ethnicities. 社区代表5个.8%的美国.S. population and has grown 25% since the 2010 census, according to AREAA’s 2019-20 《亚洲-美洲状况报告》. 德克萨斯州大约有1个.5 million AAPI residents; the community has a 59.1%的住房拥有率，而66.所有德州人的住房拥有率为3%.

宣传是area aa的一个关键重点. 当地分会与德克萨斯州立法者沟通, 在过去的岁月里, AREAA代表前往华盛顿, D.C.今年5月，他去游说国会. AREAA advocates for using alternate ways to track creditworthiness, expanded government language and translation resources, and enacting laws that promote diversity and inclusivity. 作为一个群体, 亚太裔社区倾向于避免大量债务, which means they have a limited credit history with which to prove creditworthiness.

最近的一个成功案例是要求美国政府.S. Census Bureau to break down the All Other Races category data to show Asian and Pacific Islander homeownership in its quarterly reporting.

“When we are lumped into the Other group, we cannot tell if we are doing well or need help. It’s difficult to tell without disaggregated data,” Lin says.

Census data for the second quarter of 2020 showed the AAPI housing rate in the U.S. 是61.4%, an increase of 2 percentage points from the previous year.

“I am so thrilled to see the improvement of AAPI homeownership rates in recent reports. Homeownership is an important part of the American Dream,” Lin says.

AREAA communicates with professional organizations abroad; in 2018, AREAA hosted a delegation of Chinese real estate professionals when they visited Houston. AREAA also has a charity that responds to natural disasters, such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

Lin says the most valuable service AREAA provides is its extensive network of contacts. Personal connections built today can lead to new business or a louder voice in government tomorrow.

“你永远不知道你会遇到谁. 建立人脉永远不会浪费时间. When you build a relationship, it opens up opportunities. If a networker needs something in the future, they’re going to think of you,” she says.
