On Sept. 1st, 2020, the CDC issued a temporary halt in residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. The order imposed a temporary national moratorium on most evictions for non-payment of rent to help prevent the spread of the virus. The average person spends more than 30% of their income on housing and lives paycheck to paycheck with little to no savings. That is one of the reasons why the eviction moratorium was extended. The order applies to all standard rental housing, including mobile homes. It does not cover hotels, motels or other guest home rentals. A complete list of qualifications can be found at the National Low Income Housing Coalition website: nlihc.org.

CTAA is a client association of TCORS Capitol Group, LLC, (TCG) a government relations and association management company with a dozen organization clients. Jessica managed CTAA and a couple of other organizations, and she took advantage of the opportunity to serve as the new executive director of a regional chamber of commerce. The timing of this opportunity to join the TCG team was perfect for me and allows me to bring my association management experience to CTAA.

I am honored to step into the role of President of the Connecticut Apartment Association, following in the footsteps of Justin Gaboury and the extraordinary men and women that have served this organization for the last 20 years.

What a long, strange trip it’s been! In case you haven’t heard, I have left CTAA to accept another position outside the industry. This is a great move for me professionally, and bittersweet personally. I have had the honor, privilege and pleasure of leading this amazing organization for 10 years. It’s been hard, but gratifying, work and I THANK YOU for trusting me to be your voice.
