Turning a whole apartment community into a tobacco-free zone is not a simple task. But help is available from the Florida Department of Health and Tobacco Free Florida. They educate managers of multifamily and public housing communities about the dangers of secondhand smoke, helping guide them toward banning the use of tobacco products on their property.

What's New Nationally
The Department of Housing and Urban Affairs (HUD) has updated the Lead Safe Housing Rule (LSHR) to reflect the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with regard to children’s blood lead levels for all federally assisted housing. The revised rule adopts a lower threshold for children’s blood lead levels, dropping the lead level that requires action by apartment owners from 10 ug/dl to 5 ug/dll.
 
On April 6, join the National Apartment Association in recognizing National Apartment Housing Day, a great time to spread the word about the exciting opportunities in our industry. This year, NAA is encouraging affiliates to get involved in a variety of activities to promote the benefits of careers in residential property management (RPM).

When I was a student and asked my godmother for career advice, she shared her love of helping people find the perfect home. "The most important thing is to find what makes you happy," she told me. "There are only a few things you need in life, and shelter is one of them. I love helping people find their home — it’s the greatest gift."
 
Supplier Updates
If your company was NOT registered for an exhibit booth at the 2016 conference, you will be able to select and purchase a booth at 9 a.m. (Eastern time) on Friday, March 24. A link will be made available on the FAA website www.faahq.org, under the Events tab, Annual Conference section. Last year, the FAA trade show sold out the same day it became available to all interested suppliers, and it is likely to sell out quickly on Friday. Please note: This site does not function properly on mobile devices.
