Your regional AHMA met with six of our region's Congresspersons and/or their staff, in Washington DC on Tuesday, March 10! We thanked them for adding $2 billion to cover 2009 HAP contracts; and adding $2.6 billion to cover LIHTC funding issues - in their recent passage of the Economic Stimulus Package. We also asked them for legislative changes that will facilitate better coordination between housing programs and agencies, provide owners with exit tax relief, and make changes to the "student rule" so that low-income residents can improve their lives without losing their housing - among other things!

Idaho Affordable Housing Management Association (Idaho AHMA) was formed as a Chapter of the national organization NAHMA to offer Idaho's management companies and property owners resources to be successful in the affordable housing industry. Idaho AHMA's Board of Directors proposed to meet this challenge through its mission.
