Recent Coalition Letters
IREM, in collaboration with several other real estate organizations, has signed multiple coalition letters addressing key industry initiatives, including:
- Letter to HUD on Rental Housing Finance Survey Data RFI – Asks HUD to continue and strengthen the Rental Housing Finance Survey rather than scale it back or eliminate it, because this data is essential for understanding the rental housing market.
- NDAA Real Estate Coalition Letter – Urges Congress to include housing-supply provisions (modeled on the “ROAD to Housing Act”) in the final FY 2026 NDAA to help address America’s housing shortage.
