CHAM is a consortium of mission-oriented owners, developers, investors and stakeholders committed to professional asset management and preservation of affordable housing. It is the only national professional association for asset managers and professionals who support the asset management industry. Through its educational programs, CHAM advances best practices that help the affordable housing industry maintain the long-term strength and viability of their assets. Asset management at its essence is a strategic and analytical profession requiring specialized skills. Two certifications are offered that take learners through the process of attaining the knowledge and skills in a progression that builds their careers. - The Asset Management Specialist (AMS) courses start with the fundamentals and then teach how to apply the knowledge using real life examples. - The Certified Housing Asset Manager (CHAM) courses teach advanced financial and analytical skills and techniques that the learner then applies to one of their own properties.

This article shines a bright light on the current affordable housing crisis.
Thanks Aaron Wiener for highlighting the challenges housing providers in the District are facing. Addressing the housing crisis requires not just building new units, but preserving the homes we have and the organizations that keep them affordable. We have to do (and fund) these things in tandem. https://lnkd.in/ettjhpyh
Our Executive Director, Julia Pierson, having a little fun at the National Association of State and Local Equity Funds (NASLEF) conference last week! It was a great conference, buzzing with excitement as affordable housing professionals gathered from all over the country in Charlottesville, VA to discuss the growing impact of technology, listen to the importance of engaging locally while strategizing nationally, and be in community with everyone centered around the same mission of preserving affordable housing.
Experiencing Ix Art Park at NASLEF's 30th conference added a creative flare for their 30th anniversary. It was exciting to be among so many talented and committed affordable housing professionals.

It was fantastic partnering with this great group of panelist at the CHAM Asset Management Conference who brought to spoke to the critical importance of asset managers and developers working together to set up long term successful projects!
At the 2024 CHAM - Consortium for Housing and Asset Management conference in Atlanta in last month, HDC's Kimberly Taylor (KT) had a blast moderating a panel discussion about how asset managers and developers can work together to set up projects for success starting at feasibility. Now more than ever, housing teams need to collaborate to ensure new developments start off on the right track and are operationally resilient for the long term! A big thank-you to KT's co-moderator Wanda Langley-Hardy of April Housing and to panelists Juli Garvey of Home Forward, Mary Eileen Langsdorf Hanson of Community Development Partners, and Jennifer Dischbein of April Housing.
