ABOUT US

The Affordable Housing Management Association (AHMA) was incorporated in 1982 as a non profit organization serving the needs of industry members in Nebraska and Iowa. Our members managed approximately 10,000 units of HUD, RHS, and tax credit financed affordable housing. AHMA sponsors an industry trainings each year throughout our two states region.

The Affordable Housing Management Association (AHMA) is an association representing companies and individuals involved with the management of affordable housing and, in particular, with the management of multifamily housing communities developments subject to the regulations of federal agencies.

The management of affordable housing is a specialized business, requiring skills and programmatic knowledge not required of other real estate management professionals. The members of AHMA strongly believe that participants in the affordable housing industry, private and public, must abide by high ethical standards in connection with their business affairs, and must strive to comply with all applicable program requirements.

AHMA advocates a supply adequate to meet the growing need for multifamily, residential affordable housing by bringing nationwide attention to the necessity of preserving decent and safe housing. The foundation of AHMA's vital mission is based upon:

• Solid partnerships with HUD, Congress, RHS, State Housing Agencies, and Housing Credit Monitoring Agencies
• Promotion of industry standards for professionals in affordable housing management through initiating and maintaining professional education and certification programs: National Affordable Housing Professional ® (NAHP ®), Housing Credit Certified Professional, (HCCP), Certified Professional of Occupancy, (CPO), and Fair Housing Compliance (FHC).
• Commitment to Communities of Quality for families living in affordable housing.
• Preservation of existing units of affordable housing.
