LAHMA - The Choice of Affordable
Housing Providers

LAHMA: The Industry Leader

The Louisiana Affordable Housing Management Association is the leading voice for affordable housing management, advocating on behalf of multifamily property managers and owners whose mission is to provide quality affordable housing. As an advocate for professional standards for affordable housing providers, LAHMA holds a unique position in the industry.

LAHMA's mission is to support legislative and regulatory policy that promotes the development and preservation of decent and safe affordable housing. LAHMA serves as a vital resource for technical education and information, fosters strategic relations between government and industry, and recognizes those who exemplify the best in affordable housing. Founded in 1995, LAHMA's membership today includes the state's most distinguished multifamily owners, managers and industry stakeholders.

NAHMA is our voice in Washington for LAHMA and 19 regional affordable housing management associations (AHMAs) nationwide.

Here's why affordable housing property owners and managers and others with an interest in affordable housing join LAHMA.

The Value of Membership
Managers, owners and industry stakeholders join LAHMA because it is essential to their business. They rely on LAHMA for representation in Louisiana, invaluable professional education, information, networking and opportunities for one-on-one dialogue with federal and state agencies impacting the industry.

Whether you manager or own LIHTC, Section 8, 202 or 236 properties, or participate in one of the many other affordable housing programs, LAHMA membership is essential to smart asset management.

LAHMA membership is not limited to property managers and owners. Supporting them are providers of goods and services, nonprofit organizations and other stakeholders who know that LAHMA helps them better serve the industry.

In addition, LAHMA members can also become subscriber members to NAHMA. As a NAHMA subscriber member, a LAHMA member receives subscriptions to NAHMA News (bimonthly newsletter), NAHP Update (quarterly "how to" newsletter for credential holders), NAHMAnalysis (regular in-depth analytical report on key, emerging issues in affordable housing); access to the resources-rich Members Only area of the NAHMA Web site; and discount opportunities to NAHMA services.

However, there are added benefits available to subscriber members who would like to become more active in NAHMA and join as a "direct" member of the national organization (NAHMA's Executive Council).
The biggest advantage to NAHMA membership is the opportunity to take a direct role in shaping national public policy for the affordable housing industry.
