The Big Picture: The government shutdown continues into its third week, and layoffs at HUD have been just one of the effects – though a federal judge temporarily halted these Reduction in Force efforts on Wednesday. A new tenant protection measure in New Jersey introduces the need for housing providers to present proof of past rent. New York state continues to ponder rent control.

What We're Advocating

Government Shutdown: The government shutdown is entering its third week, and NAA is monitoring several continuous impacts. NAA has compiled industry resources such as sample communications for property managers and affected residents. View the resources and learn more. 

The Latest: Based on recent information, rural housing rental assistance payments administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are continuing. Advanced funding should allow them to preserve payments through December. Vouchers remain uncertain as funding has run out. Read NAA’s live updates article for the latest on the shutdown and industry impacts. 
What We're Saying

ROAD to Housing Act: Last week, the Senate passed the ROAD to Housing Act, a collection of several pro-housing policy solutions. NAA’s Assistant Vice President, Federal Legislative Affairs Owen Caine says that this is a “a monumental accomplishment for a once-in-a-generation housing package.” Learn more about what steps are next.
