Affordable 100

How many housing units receive at least one form of federal subsidy in the United States today? The annual NAHMA Affordable 100 list provides this important data.

2026 NAHMA Affordable 100

The NAHMA Affordable 100 comprises the largest affordable multifamily property management companies, ranked by the number of subsidized units. The NAHMA Affordable 100 list contributes vital data to the ongoing national dialogue on the future of federal funding for affordable housing. In an effort to accurately determine the portfolio of affordable units receiving federal subsidy in the United States, NAHMA publishes this annual listing of affordable units containing at least one of the following federal subsidies: HUD Project-based Assistance (Project-based Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811), Section 42 LIHTC, HOME and CDBG funds, USDA Sections 515 and 538, or Bonds.

Companies in bold provided data for NAHMA’s Affordable 100 survey. All others are based on industry estimates. ** All unit data represent only units directly managed (not owned) that were rented or available to rent on Dec. 31, 2025. Down units, abated units, units under construction or rehabbing units not available for rent are not included. 

NAHMA also presents two specialty lists: the 25 largest housing credit (LIHTC) property management companies and the 25 largest Rural Development (Sections 515 and 538) property management companies (see the link below for more details).
