What's New
Latest news and updates from the Common Rent team.
12/20/21 - PRESS RELEASE
In what could be a historic meeting with Massachusetts Governor Baker's housing Secretary, Undersecretary, and their technical advisors, the Common Rent team presented their detailed plan on piloting a universal statewide affordable housing system for the public and the entire industry, which would lead to a national housing system. With national owners and the cooperation of the state at no cost to them, founder and President Drew Vernalia stated "We could have working software in as little as 3 months to 6 months at the most." He passionately stated that a national affordable housing system is critical as a tidal wave of evictions and foreclosures are imminent in the wake of COVID's economic crisis. The response from the State seemed positive and there will be further discussions.
Common Rent is assembling national housing owners, City and State leaders in Massachusetts now. If you are one, please connect/reconnect with Drew Vernalia by email or phone below to find out about the Common Rent App plan and this latest development. Please pass this email along to your colleagues.

Thank you for your time to read this. If you share this or donate, you are the best! Keep fighting the good fight!
Kindest regards,
Drew Vernalia, Founder
