WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

“In my 13+ years with the housing authority, NLHA was the first organization that I reached out to. They are geared towards the HCVP and multi-family. The members and staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoy the information and it has helped me immensely over the years.” Priscilla Pointer-Hicks PARMA Public Housing Agency

“Many of our programs are getting closer together, integrating the public and private sector such as Project Based Vouchers, and with the meld of the private and public sector members, this is an excellent choice for PHAs with HCV programs. There are two tracks for each seminar, but participants can go to any session they prefer. The sessions are meaty and informative. Denise is an outstanding association executive with excellent contacts all over Washington so you know you are always getting the latest, most up-to-date scoop!” Nan McKay Nan McKay and Associates

“For nearly 20 years, Related has benefited from the comprehensive information, insights and critical advocacy of NLHA. Our teams rely on an exceptional and invaluable partner in Denise Muha who personally and with incredible patience and persistence, helps us navigate the ever changing landscape of affordable housing executions.” Jeff Brodsky Related Companies

“NLHA is one of the most credible voices for affordable housing in Washington because it is a no-nonsense organization. Policymakers on both sides of the aisle know that they can rely on NLHA for straightforward, practical proposals backed by solid research that will work in communities across the country.” Sharon Wilson Géno National Multifamily Housing Council
