This year, AREAA celebrated the achievement of a significant goal that was set by their 2016 national chair Vicky Silvano, who is affiliated with the firm CENTURY 21 S.G.R. in Chicago. AREAA led the “No Other” campaign, which succeeded in convincing the U.S. Census Department to disaggregate data posted in their quarterly homeownership report under the “other” category. In the second quarter of 2016, the U.S. Census Department issued its first quarterly home ownership report that included a stand-alone, Asian American Pacific Islander category — instead of aggregating this data under the heading “other.”
Founded in 2003, the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) is a nonprofit trade organization dedicated to promoting homeownership within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. With over 15,000 members in 36 chapters across North America, AREAA is the largest real estate trade association dedicated to promoting homeownership in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
