WHY DONATE TO PAC?

Every donation to SAAA PAC helps us connect with elected officials and candidates to educate them and spread industry knowledge and perspective to hopefully lead to better policy outcomes for us all. By pooling the contributions from individuals and companies who are members of SAAA, our members may participate in the political process.

Any funds collected are disbursed at the direction of SAAA’s Government Affairs Committee directly to the campaign of a candidate or incumbent member of local and state elected offices like City Council, Bexar County Commissioners, and Texas House and Senate Representatives.

Why Should You Care?

PAC Contributions Give Our Industry and Organization:

A Seat at the Table. Would you rather be at the table, or on the menu? SAAA PAC is your vehicle to support elected officials and candidates who are open to the rental housing industry's views on issues crucial to your business and the industry at large.

Credibility SAAA PAC gives our profession political credibility It shows that we are willing to support lawmakers who help enact policies that will allow us to keep creating quality rental housing opportunities across the state.

Success. Growing our influence within the San Antonio metro area and Texas does not happen easily It is an ongoing and long-term process that only succeeds as more and more SAAA members participate Your involvement makes SAAA PAC grow in strength

WHY DONATE TO PAC?

Recent “wins” for the San Antonio Apartment Association in advocacy: In 2024, the Government Affairs Committee had over 80 meetings with local, state, and federal elected officials, key department staff members, and government entities to communicate important proposals and build relationships. In 2024, members of the SAAA Government Affairs Committee were chosen to be involved in the recent San Antonio Unified Development Code review and shaped the code amendments to prevent further regulation and pressure on the rental housing industry. This influence at the City level is advantageous to our growth and position as a key stakeholder for the City of San Antonio. In 2024 and recently this year, SAAA Government Affairs Team participated in the process for a San Antonio Council Consideration Request (CCR) that concerns SAWS water shutoffs at multifamily communities. SAAA was alerted about the CCR and met with multiple City Council members, the Development Services Department, and SAWS leadership to influence the path the CCR took through City Council Committees before it goes to the whole City Council for review. When the recommendations for the CCR passes the full City Council, it will be an even bigger win for the association

Recently this spring, a member of the Government Affairs Committee applied and was selected to be a part of the Housing Commission’s Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing Subcommittee. This commitment lasts two years and gives the rental housing industry a seat at the table to impact policy being directed by the subcommittee to the Housing Commission
