National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) President Sharon Wilson Géno and NMHC Members Jared Ford, President, BTR and Multifamily, Catamount Constructors and Josh Hartmann, CEO, NexMetro Communities accompanied HUD Secretary Scott Turner and Congressman Gabe Evans (R-CO-8) on tour of a Build-to-Rent (BTR) community in Colorado.
“Families across the country are struggling to find affordable places to live. Build-to-Rent (BTR) homes offer a real, immediate solution—providing badly needed homes in communities nationwide. I was thrilled to join Secretary Turner and Congressman Evans on a tour last week of a wonderful BTR community in Commerce City, CO developed by NMHC member NexMetro Communities and constructed by NMHC member Catamount Constructors, Inc.
“The visit by the Secretary and Congressman highlights how important housing affordability and innovative BTR communities like Avilla Buffalo Run are to policymakers during this election season.”
“I appreciated the opportunity to help showcase the important work of our members and the role BTR plays in providing homes for young folks starting their lives, households on the path to homeownership, mature residents looking to downsize, military service members and veterans, among many, many others who happily build their lives in BTR communities”.
“As Congress considers its next steps on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, we strongly urge members in both parties to remove the language effectively ending BTR so the legislation will act as intended and offer Americans more housing opportunities and, at the same time, increase housing affordability. ”
