Could your four-legged friend be the key to a longer lease and a happier home? Judy Bellack from Michelson Found Animals Foundations Pet Inclusive Housing Initiative joins us to shed light on the powerful connection between pet inclusivity and a thriving multi-family community. As an industry principal spearheading the Pet Inclusive Housing Initiative, Judy combines her multi-family housing expertise with a heart for animal advocacy, showing us how welcoming pets can transform the rental landscape. Her personal insights based on her years of experience in the industry and as mom to not one but three Sheba Inus deepens our understanding of the significance of keeping pets and their people together, no matter where they call home.

This episode isn't just about opening doors for our furry family members—it's about busting myths and breaking down barriers. Discover how Dr. Michelson's journey from orthopedic surgery to philanthropy led to a revolution in pet microchipping and paved the way for more inclusive housing policies. We dissect the misconceptions that have held back pet-inclusive housing, from the exaggerated fears of pet damage to the discriminatory breed stereotypes that tear families apart. Judy confronts these challenges with facts and heartfelt stories, advocating for policies that acknowledge the true nature of our canine companions.

Imagine a world where your pet is more than just welcome—they're part of what makes your community thrive. We explore the undeniable benefits that pet-inclusive policies bring to the table, from longer tenancy periods to stronger bonds within the community. Property managers and residents alike stand to gain, and Judy shares success stories that prove it. Plus, we cast an eye towards the future, examining how legislative trends and priorities of millennials and Gen Z are shaping a new era of pet-friendly living. Tune in to envision a world where your best friend is always by your side and a welcomed member of any community.
