MESSAGES

Dear Landlords,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you with a heartfelt request regarding the proposed rental increases for properties you manage. Given the current economic climate and the ongoing challenges many face, please consider deferring any rental increase requests until December 31, 2024.

The Houston Housing Authority (HHA) has been experiencing a significant shortfall, which has impacted its ability to provide rental assistance to those most in need. By deferring rental increases, you would be playing a crucial role in allowing the HHA to continue supporting vulnerable families and individuals who rely on this assistance to maintain stable housing.

Our participants, your tenants, deeply appreciate the quality of housing and the support provided by you as landlords. We understand the financial pressures that property owners face, and we are committed to maintaining a positive and cooperative relationship. However, the deferment of rental increases would not only provide immediate relief to tenants but also contribute to the broader community’s stability during these challenging times.

We are confident that with your understanding and compassion, we can navigate this period together. Your willingness to support this request would make a significant difference in the lives of many and demonstrate a strong commitment to community welfare.

Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to your positive response and are available to discuss this matter further at your convenience.

Warm regards
