Foreclosure Prevention and Response Program
NAR introduced the Foreclosure Prevention and Response (FPR) Program to aid REALTORS®, their clients, and the nation's communities in facing the challenges of the market on March 1, 2009, as a part of the former Right Tools, Right Now program. Through this program, NAR provided $3 million in grants to state and local REALTOR® associations to help them develop coordinated plans of action to prevent foreclosures and respond to their adverse affects. The program expired as scheduled at the end of 2010.
In addition to providing grants, the program also created an online toolkit, which contained information about educational opportunities and resources, government and private grant programs, community outreach programs, and best practices related to foreclosure prevention and response.

Foreclosure Prevention and Response Toolkit
NAR created this free online toolkit (access toolkit to the right) to help state and local associations design local foreclosure response programs and to support the work of their members in the community. The resources found here will help state and local associations to identify:
- Training resources
- Government and other grant programs
- Opportunities for community involvement
- Best practices
To allow this toolkit to grow, NAR invites REALTOR® associations to submit best practices and descriptions of their local foreclosure program. If an association is interested in sharing their experience for the benefit of all, please email: wgilmartin@REALTORS.org.
