Sponsors
Real Strategies is thrilled to sponsor RHALS 2024. As a partner with NAA and the state and local affiliates to run campaigns for the Housing Affordability Program, we are committed to supporting the advocacy legal and government affairs of the rental housing industry. It’s a privilege to work with the NAA affiliates across the country to support realistic and reasonable housing solutions. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in RHALS and look forward to all our future projects.
Quorum is happy to be the sponsor for RHALS 2024. We're committed to supporting the rental housing industry's advocacy and government affairs goals. The rental industry deals with a vast issue portfolio, from policy debates around rental fees to zoning reform, short-term rentals, and building codes, and with a broad issue portfolio comes the need for strong tracking and engagement systems, and Quorum is grateful for the opportunity to present a platform that can support those needs.
