More than fifty years ago a handful of seniors concerned about the economic and social well being of an aging population founded the American Association of Retired Persons. Known today simply as AARP, they have grown to represent more than 40 million Americans over the age of fifty.
In the United States today there is one demographic group larger than senior citizens - residential renters. According to the Census Bureau there are more than 95 million of us.
The American Tenants Association was founded to serve as the voice for this under represented group.
Our vision is to create the ATA to be the leading advocate for residential tenants on issues of political, economic and social matters affecting our quality of life.
To borrow a phrase from AARP, we intend the ATA to “lead the revolution” in the way people view and live life as renters. Our intent is to create positive social change for our constituency.
As noted in our Mission Statement we will build value for our members through our advocacy, the information we provide and the consumer services and opportunities we will offer.
Thanks to all who have offered support of our efforts.
