ARLINGTON, Va. | March 16, 2026 - Statement from National Apartment Association (NAA) President and CEO Bob Pinnegar:
"Sustainably addressing our nation's housing shortage - which affects communities from every corner of our country - is one of the most pressing issues of our time. NAA applauds President Trump and administration leaders for taking decisive action in their most recent executive order to remove key barriers to housing development. From streamlining permitting requirements and reducing regulatory barriers for new construction to promoting best practices that increase supply, these actions will help meet the need for 4.3 million new apartments by 2035. Our association looks forward to continued work with the administration to boost housing supply and ease affordability challenges for Americans."
