The NAA Apartmentcast - Housing Dollars and Political Sense

Welcome to NAA's Apartmentcast, the official podcast of the National Apartment Association. On this episode, we sit down with NAA’s Director of Federal Legislative Affairs Maria Spencer, who, now that the government has reopened, is here to walk us through the Congressional FY26 appropriations process and the prospective impacts on the rental housing industry, especially as it relates to balancing the priorities of creating new supply while preserving the present affordable housing stock. 

For those of you out there who are interested in learning more about housing policy, including insight into Congressional reconciliation and appropriation, NAA has a wealth of resources, including a policy issues library, the Apartment Advocate and Apartment Advocate Pro newsletters, and much more, all on NAA’s website.
