AAMD ALLIANCE
Thank You to the Contributors to the AAMD Alliance in 2017-2018 !
Through the guidance of JLAC , the Government Affairs team saved the multifamily industry over $ 87 Million this year alone .
Thank you to everyone that participated in responding to emails asking for input on bills , attending meetings with elected officials , analyzing proposed legislation , assisting in writing taking points , testifying , participating in community panel discussions and attending caucus fundraising events .
The Government Affairs team lessened the financial and administrative impacts , with guidance and direction from members of the Joint Legislative Advisory Council , on industry specific bills from over 700 legislative proposals this year at the State Capitol and many adverse proposals on the local government level . Among the state legislative proposals that were defeated were limited application cap fees , source of income , Warranty of Habitability and others .
Additionally , forward movement continues with the multi-year public education campaign which focuses on educating the public on “ how housing works ”, how an impact fee trickles down in to increased rent , how to read a lease , assistance resources and how to better understand housing in general .
Our team ’ s effort has also grown the AAMD Alliance ’ s contributions indicating that our industry ’ s safeguard against harmful policies is gaining momentum to carry us into the election year .
