What We're Hearing

Election Impact: “At the end of the day, housing is not a partisan issue,” NAA’s Greg Brown told Multifamily Executive this week. NAA looks forward to working with members of Congress from both parties to align on lasting, meaningful policy solutions that help lower costs, boost supply, ease affordability challenges and protect the nation’s rental housing infrastructure for the future.” (Multifamily Executive)
