NCSHA Statement on White House Announcement on Renter Policies — NCSHA
The National Council of State Housing Agencies commends the Biden – Harris Administration for its continuing efforts to expand the supply of affordable housing and ensure low-income renters remain safely and affordably housed — objectives shared by all the nation’s state housing finance agencies.
Today’s White House announcement of federal actions and voluntary commitments by multifamily housing industry participants to promote “resident-centered” property management practices cites specific policies adopted by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority to maintain rents at reasonable levels in properties financed by those agencies.
These carefully tailored, state-specific policies were developed after detailed analysis, industry input, and public comment. Broader federal efforts should follow a similar approach to balance the needs of all the stakeholders in the affordable rental housing system.
