The National Apartment Association (NAA) is a non-profit trade association of apartment communities, owners and suppliers. These member companies are also part of NAA with their membership at the local level. Members represent the various facets of the multifamily housing industry: apartment owners, management executives, developers, builders, investors, property managers, leasing consultants, maintenance personnel, suppliers and related business professionals throughout the United States and Canada. NAA has its headquarters in Arlington, VA.

NAA also publishes a trade magazine, UNITS.

That National Apartment Association also provides education courses and certifications for professionals in the apartment industry. The National Apartment Association Education Institute (NAAEI) offers these courses. NAAEI is the education arm of NAA.

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]
