Advocacy, PAC & Why Your Support Matters | WMFHA Member Advocacy Overview

Posted By: Evan Omelia Articles, WMFHA Updates,

At the Washington Multifamily Housing Association (WMFHA), advocacy is at the heart of everything we do. Our work ensures that the voices of property management professionals, supplier partners, and the broader multifamily housing community are heard at the state and local levels. By engaging in advocacy, you’re helping protect homes, businesses, and communities across Washington.

To learn more about how your voice and involvement make a difference, watch the video below. In it, we walk through WMFHA’s advocacy efforts, explain why Political Action Committee (PAC) support is vital, and show how members can get directly involved.


Why Advocacy Matters

Effective advocacy ensures balanced and informed housing policy that benefits residents, property teams, and suppliers alike. WMFHA works with elected officials and policymakers to represent the rental housing industry, advocate for practical solutions, and maintain a healthy regulatory environment.

Key advocacy highlights include:

  • Educating lawmakers through the WMFHA PAC, supporting housing-informed candidates and policies

  • Day on the Hill, our annual event where members meet directly with legislators in Olympia

  • Member perspectives, recognizing that both property management professionals and supplier partners bring unique and equally important insights to advocacy efforts

  • Policy-focused PAC support, which protects the future of housing without being political


How Members Can Engage

Your participation in advocacy strengthens the industry and ensures your concerns are heard. Whether you attend Day on the Hill, contribute to the PAC, or share your expertise with policymakers, your involvement helps shape balanced, effective housing legislation.

We encourage you to explore the following resources to get involved:


Conclusion

Advocacy works best when we act together. Your voice and support help WMFHA protect homes, careers, businesses, and communities throughout Washington. Thank you for being part of our community. Together, we can ensure a strong, sustainable future for rental housing.
