NAA Update from Susan Passmore, NAA Region IV Vice President (Mar 2023)

NAA Update from Susan Passmore
NAA Region IV Vice President

We are less than one month away from NAA Advocate; NAA’s annual advocacy conference in Washington, D.C. on March 28^th-29^th, 2023. With pandemic-fueled challenges and regulatory uncertainty continuing to impact our operations, it’s more important than ever to make sure that your voice is heard. Registration for this event is free. Join your peers and speak to your Congressional representatives about the following critical legislation.

• Opposing federal efforts to interfere into the landlord-tenant relationship and using carrots, not sticks, to increase rental affordability and housing choice for renters;
• Improving the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program to attract and better serve private sector rental housing providers;
• Incentivizing local governments to lower barriers to development and increase the supply of rental housing; and
• Ending the CARES Act 30-day notice-to-vacate requirement for federally-backed and federally-assisted rental properties.

NAA’s Monthly Advocacy & Legal Updates is an NAA member and affiliate exclusive web series for partners yearning to uncover industry legal news and policy changes, sometimes straight from D.C. The call is the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 3:30PM. If you'd like to register, please reach out to Nicole Upano at NAA.

If your company participates in this valuable survey, you will get the full results free of charge. Submit your 2022 data today for complimentary benchmarks.
