About MAHMA

THE MIDWEST AFFORDABLE HOUSING MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION is a professional association representing owners and managers of affordable housing throughout Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

We are a regional organization with grassroots support from local, regional and national affiliations. Through our liaison with THE NATIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (NAHMA), our members benefit from the tremendous support and legislative work that is provided by the working partnership of the national HUD offices and other government, and community agencies.  Located in Washington, DC, NAHMA works with key industry and government officials in facilitating the affordable housing industry and in voicing the decisive needs and concerns of its members.

The Midwest Affordable Housing Management Association’s members are responsible for the day-to-day management tasks for over 800,000 units of the nation’s affordable housing stock. The Association recognizes that creating and maintaining quality affordable housing communities is  essential to each family’s ability to reach its full potential.  Quality affordable housing communities are operated cost effectively by energetic and knowledgeable professionals who are committed to long-term careers in housing management.  Our members represent those who follow sound financial practices, comply with regulations, and operate under state-of-the-art general management  systems.
