AIMS, the Apartment Industry Mobilization Service, is vital to our industry's ability to represent your interests when decisions are made in Washington. Multifamily housing needs a clear, powerful, nationwide voice. And elected officials listen best when the voice comes from respected, informed constituents back home. The main objective of AIMS is to have a ready grassroots mechanism to marshal local efforts to affect federal legislation and regulation. AIMS provides: information to key members who regularly contact government officials, bulletins that alert members about upcoming congressional action and help in contacting those staff and members of Congress who are most influential on major decisions, professional insights to make your grassroots efforts more effective and special task forces through which you can join other industry leaders from across the country to solve problems facing our industry.
The Legislative Staff Report, produced by NAA/NMHC, contains information on activities on Capitol Hill related to the apartment industry.
