The National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) announces that its 2026 Affordable 100—a list of the 100 largest affordable multifamily property management companies ranked by the number of subsidized units—is now available on the NAHMA website at www.nahma.org/affordable-100/. The list will also appear in the June issues of NAHMA News and the National Apartment Association’s Units magazine.
The NAHMA website expands the list to the top 120 largest multifamily property management companies. Additionally, the online version features two specialty lists: the 25 largest Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) property management companies and the 25 largest Rural Development program property management companies. The Affordable 100 on the association’s website also provides an advertising opportunity that allows management companies to include hyperlinks to their corporate websites, enabling visitors to quickly and easily find more information about a particular company.
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: Department of Housing and Urban Development Project-based Assistance (Project-based Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811), Section 42 LIHTC, HOME and Community Development Block Grant funds, U.S. Department of Agriculture Sections 515 and 538, or bonds.
Companies listed in bold on the list provided data for NAHMA’s annual Affordable 100 survey. All the 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. Companies appearing on the Affordable 100 list do not have to be NAHMA members to participate in the survey. The two online specialty lists are based solely on the survey data.
NAHMA would like to extend its sincere thanks to the NAHMA Affordable 100 Task Force, without whose hard work and support, this survey would not have been possible. In particular, sincere appreciation goes to task force chair Scott Ployer, National Property Management Strategies Group, LLC; vice chair T.J. Golson, ResMan; Lauren Monaco, DeSilva Housing Group; Stephanie Fo, CMS Bremerton Housing Authority; Rue Fox, ResMan; Tammy Hunter, Choice Property Resources; Mark Livanec, Yardi; Scott Nelson, RealPage, Inc.; Greg Proctor, Lumina Partners, LLC; Jeffrey Promnitz, Zeffert and Associates, Inc.; Kayla Roche, Entrata; Gustavo Sapiurka, GSAP Advisory Group and Diane Van Lear, SatisFacts.
