NAA ADVOCATE MARCH 2023 - RECAP
The National Apartment Association visited Washington, DC for the annual Advocate conference.
Austin delegates visited with members of the 118th Congress to urge members to pass critical legislation around housing affordability. NAA is urging congress to:
• Oppose federal efforts to interfere into the landlord-tenant relationship and use carrots (not sticks) to increase rental affordability and housing choice for renters
• Improve the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program to attract and better serve private sector rental housing providers
• Incentivize local governments to lower barriers to development and increase the supply of rental housing
• End the CARES Act 30-day notice-to-vacate requirement for federally-backed and federally-assisted housing
