NAA's Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The National Apartment Association is committed to developing resources and guidance that promote a diverse and inclusive workforce in the rental housing industry.

- NAA's DE&I Vision Statement: As the voice of the rental housing industry, NAA will model inclusion and embrace diverse backgrounds and perspectives of those with whom we work and exist to serve.
- NAA's Value Statement: The professionalism of the rental housing industry is interconnected with the principles of the Fair Housing Act and based on the concept that all people should be treated equally. We do not tolerate incivility toward one’s fellow citizen based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status or any other attribute or characteristic. Our industry and our nation are strongest when we all work together. In accordance with these principles, the National Apartment Association condemns any act of discrimination and/or violence.
