ADVOCATE
AAMD / CAA Represented at NAA ' s Advocate Conference
In a striking showcase of advocacy and unity , 20 members from the Colorado Apartment Association ( CAA ) journeyed to Washington , D . C ., for the National Apartment Association ' s ( NAA ) Advocacy Event . Together , they engaged with eight Colorado congressional delegates , focusing on pivotal housing legislation aimed at addressing national challenges . Key issues included advocating for the end of the CARES Act eviction notice requirement through " The Respect State Housing Laws Act ", promoting development and housing supply via " The Yes In My Back Yard Act ", and enhancing the Section 8 Program to ensure broader housing opportunities through " The Choice in Affordable Housing Act ".
This initiative underscores the NAA ' s dedication to making meaningful legislative strides for housing across the nation . By directly engaging with lawmakers , the delegation not only highlighted urgent housing issues but also set the stage for potential policy changes that promise a more inclusive and accessible housing landscape . Through collective effort and focused advocacy , the event marked a significant step toward achieving sustainable housing solutions .
