Networking
NAHC provides access to a network of housing cooperatives, cooperative housing
associations, and professionals. Co-ops and professionals receive an annual NAHC Directory
of Professional Members.
Technical Assistance
We offer technical assistance to members on the development and operation of housing
cooperatives. In-depth consulting services can be arranged for a fee.
Representation
Our government relations program represents housing cooperatives on issues of mutual
concern before Congress and federal agencies, such as HUD, FCC, EPA, and others. We
monitor issues and keep our members up-to-date on the latest legislation, regulations, and
issues that involve housing cooperatives.
Information
The Cooperative Housing Bulletin, our bimonthly newsletter, contains timely
articles and news items. The annual Cooperative Housing Journal includes articles
of lasting value. Publications on various aspects of housing cooperative operations and
development are also available.
Education
The NAHC Annual Conference is our
premier educational event. Held every October, the three-day conference offers over 50
workshops on a wide range of topics. The Young Cooperators Program is held in conjunction
with the annual conference. In addition, NAHC sponsors the
Registered Cooperative Manager Program
(RCM), a
designation program exclusively for cooperative housing managers.
The RCM
Board of Governors has

Ethical Conduct for cooperative site managers. Click here
