Community association leaders from across the country will gather in Washington, D.C., in less than a week for CAI’s Advocacy Summit to support issues that directly impact the 73 million people living and working in homeowners associations, condominiums, and housing cooperatives.
If you can’t join us in D.C., you can still participate in the conversation and help amplify our collective voices by inviting your member of Congress to attend CAI’s Community Association Congressional Briefing. Please take a few minutes to send a customized email to your members of Congress urging them to attend the Community Association Congressional Briefing on Oct. 23 at 1:30–2:15 p.m. in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center: Congressional Meeting Room South (CVC 217).
During the briefing, we’ll support:
- Request for clarity on emotional support animals by urging the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to implement guidance
- The Disaster Assistance Equity Act, a bill that would allow recovery efforts in community associations to benefit from FEMA’s assistance programs for damages resulting from a disaster. The bill is scheduled to be introduced on Oct. 28.
- House Resolution 4232, the Protecting Local Authority Act, a bill that would ensure short-term rental platforms comply with state and local laws, and recognize community association covenants
- House Resolution 3167, the National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019, the nation’s largest insurer of flood risk and an important partner for community associations in disaster recovery.
