Benefits of Membership

The Value of Membership

Owners, managers and industry stakeholders join NYAHMA because it is essential to their business. They rely on NYAHMA for invaluable professional education, information, networking and opportunities for one-on-one dialogue with federal, city and state agencies and contract administrators impacting the industry and its daily functions as well as representation in Washington through NAHMA.

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

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