APartner in Safety - Giving First Responders More Housing Opportunities in Multifamily
AAA is proud to announce the launch of Apartner in Safety Alliance, a program designed to give first responders more opportunities to live in multifamily properties. This initiative seeks to enhance public safety by fostering strong partnerships with first responders and strengthening their connection with residents.
Participating members will offer Austin Police, Fire, and EMS personnel exclusive housing discounts, such as waived fees, reduced deposits, or discounts on monthly rent. This will provide first responders with more housing options in the community they serve.
In addition, members will have the option to host community engagement events, inviting local first responders and residents to connect in a casual setting. For example, members can host a community engagement event in their properties’ common room and provide pizza to attendees.
Members will also benefit from safety recommendations provided by local officers during optional property walkthroughs.
We would like to thank the Austin Police Association, Austin EMS Association and Austin Fire Foundation and Austin Firefighters Association for collaborating with us to bring this program to life. We are grateful to have such dedicated first responders committed to serving all Austinites.
