The resources are designed to help our industry survive and thrive through the pandemic and beyond.
The COVID-19 Rental Housing Support Initiative, sponsored by Yardi, involves four organizations—Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM); National Apartment Association (NAA); National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM); and National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC)—that came together to build a series of solutions in key support areas to help the industry survive and thrive through the pandemic and beyond.
Now available is a Liability Resource Library, with guidance for business continuity, business reopening and maintenance. NAA members can also access a comprehensive e-book, Employer’s Guide to COVID-19 and Emerging Workplace Issues.
The Mental Health Resource Library is divided into four focus areas: Coping with isolation; learning resiliency; managing anxiety; and financial stress.
New support resources are focused on educating policymakers, offering data for our country’s decision-makers to quickly digest the importance of more support for rental assistance and foregoing any extension of the eviction moratorium. There also is an entire section dedicated to industry facts, including a quiz about rental housing to help distinguish fact from fiction, an infographic offering six smart reasons to rent and a video breaking down $1 of rent.
