Statement from National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) President Sharon Wilson Géno and National Apartment Association (NAA) President and CEO Bob Pinnegar on the confirmation of Secretary Scott Turner:
“The National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the National Apartment Association (NAA) congratulate Secretary Turner on his confirmation to lead the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. During such a critical time for our nation – one that demands innovative and bipartisan action on housing policy – Secretary Turner’s expansive background in rental housing, community development and economic revitalization makes him the right leader for HUD at the right time. Our organizations look forward to working alongside Secretary Turner to address our country’s longstanding housing supply shortage and ultimately increase housing affordability and availability for all Americans.”
For more than 27 years, the National Apartment Association (NAA) and the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) have partnered on behalf of America's apartment industry. Drawing on the knowledge and policy expertise of staff in Washington, D.C., as well as the advocacy power of 141 NAA state and local affiliated associations, NAA and NMHC provide a single voice for developers, owners and operators of multifamily rental housing. One-third of all Americans rent their housing, and 40 million of them live in an apartment home.
