Military Spouse and Veteran Outreach

NAAEI hosted the first ever Military Career fair in San Diego, CA on June 19, 2013.[3] The career fair was for transitioning military and military spouses to meet with apartment industry employers, interview for jobs and learn more about apartment careers.[4]

Economic Impact

In 2013, the National Apartment Association partnered with the National Multifamily Housing Council to release the first study, "The Trillion Dollar Industry" that quantifies the gross domestic product of the multifamily housing industry.[5] This study found that apartment industry spending contributes $1.1 trillion to the national economy and supports 25.4 million jobs.[6] This report serves as the first component of a large-scale, multi-media campaign aimed at confronting some of the political and social biases against apartments.[7]
