Setting the Record Straight on Evictions with Nicole Ryan,


Nicole Upano, and Zach Quimby, all with NAA, from 3:15 pm to 4 pm. Eviction was a challenging issue for the industry long before COVID-19.

In this session, you will learn how to address eviction from the policy perspective of the industry--to both media and policy makers--and help debunk the myths and promote sustainable solutions.


Navigating the Maze of Eviction Data with William Bower, Contemporary Information Corp, Terry Cleman, National Con- sumer Reporting Association, Paula Munger, NAA, and Alex Rossello, NAA, from 3:15 pm to 4 pm. Industry advocates have almost certainly had a policy maker tell them “I just read Evicted by Matthew Desmond!” and then have to spend valuable time trying to talk through the nuances of legal filings and terminology while trying to fight off overly prescriptive proposals. How do you col- lect eviction data from the industry’s perspective? In this session, we will show you.


Crafting Effective Rental Assistance Programs with Jodie Applewhite, NAA, and Leah Sailhamer, Pennsylvania Apart- ment Association from 3:15 pm to 4 pm. Under the year-end

Join us as we continue the discussion on effective rental assistance advocacy and program best practices.
