What We're Advocating

State of the Union: In response to President Biden’s State of the Union address, NAA and NMHC released the following joint statement: 

“NAA and NMHC understand our nation’s housing affordability challenges and call for responsible and sustainable solutions that will ensure the viability of rental housing options for all Americans. We stand ready to continue working with the Administration to identify solutions that will address the national rental housing shortage. It is only through the combined partnership of the rental housing industry and the government that real policy solutions will be developed that benefit housing providers and residents alike.” 
What We're Saying

Section 8: In a statement endorsing the bipartisan Choice in Affordable Housing Act, NAA President and CEO Bob Pinnegar said that “by speeding-up resident approval processes, reducing duplicative inspections requirements and providing better ongoing support for housing provider participants, the Choice in Affordable Housing Act will encourage more voluntary participation from the industry and, most importantly, increase positive outcomes for participating owners and residents alike." Read more.
