This well informed, knowledgeable
group of industry experts, shared
www.aamdhq.org
insight with the Congressman on
timely multifamily housing issues and
highlighted our industry’s community
responsible efforts which include
educating residents and tenants on their
rights as a renter, furthering a better
understanding for renters on financial
literacy, rental responsibilities and how to
better understand navigating through the
Colorado laws on eviction.
We highlighted projects through our
partnerships including the Colorado
Housing Helpline with Brothers
Redevelopment and a recently developed
rental payment assistance for long time
performing qualified renters that may need
one-time financial assistance which offers
an opportunity for them to stay in their
homes through the Gelt Foundation.
As a past property manager, US Rep.
Coffman understands our industry and
was supportive of our educational and
financial assistance outreach. For more

at the Association.
