Washington, D.C.—Statement from National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) President Sharon Wilson Géno, Real Estate Technology and Transformation Center (RETTC) Executive Director and Chief Advocacy Officer Kevin Donnelly and National Apartment Association (NAA) President and CEO Bob Pinnegar on today’s passage of the Housing for the 21st Century Act in the U.S. House of Representatives:
“At such a pivotal moment for housing, NMHC, RETTC and NAA applaud lawmakers in the U.S. House on both sides of the aisle for their bold and steadfast efforts to pass the Housing for the 21st Century Act. Today’s vote represents historic momentum in Congress for the enactment of real housing solutions – meaningful policies to deliver more supply, lower regulatory barriers to development and increase housing access.
“Our organizations urge the U.S. Senate to pass the ROAD to Housing Act as soon as possible and convene a joint conference to unite around a final housing package that prioritizes lasting and sustainable policies. Now more than ever, rental housing providers remain committed partners in our nation’s work to ease longstanding affordability challenges.”
The National Apartment Association (NAA), the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the Real Estate Technology & Transformation Center (RETTC) partner on behalf of America's rental housing providers and technology suppliers that are driving innovation and helping assist in addressing our long-term housing challenges. Drawing on the knowledge and policy expertise of staff in Washington, D.C., as well as the advocacy power of 139 NAA state and local affiliated associations, NAA, NMHC and RETTC provide a single voice for rental housing developers, owners and operators and suppliers. One-third of all Americans call a rental property home—where, increasingly, technology solutions are being leveraged to modernize property operations, improve housing affordability and enhance the resident experience.
