NAA Advocate
NAA Advocate: Taking Housing Policy to Capitol Hill
Advocate – NAA’s annual advocacy conference – is the prime opportunity to meet with your representatives by joining rental housing suppliers, property managers, owners and operators in Washington, D.C.
Advocate 2026 will be March 24-25, 2026, with NAA Governance meetings continuing March 26-27, 2026.
During the NAA Advocate Conference on March 25, members of the National Apartment Association (NAA) will meet with their Members of Congress to champion key legislation impacting the rental housing industry. This annual advocacy effort ensures that the voice of the rental housing industry is heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill.
This year, NAA members will focus on advancing the following bipartisan bills:
- S. 470/H.R. 1078, RESPECT State Housing Laws Act - This bicameral, bipartisan bill finally sunsets the 30-day required Notice to Vacate (NTV) requirement put in place as part of the CARES Act during the COVID pandemic.
- S. 2651, ROAD to Housing Act & H.R. 6644, Housing for the 21st Century Act - These two pieces of legislation are each congressional chamber's comprehensive housing packages. While different, both housing packages are bipartisan and broad-based.
