Why Your Voice Matters: Join the 2025 Affordable Housing Staffing Survey

The affordable housing industry is facing a staffing crisis unlike anything we've seen before. From high turnover rates to the challenge of onboarding new employees with little to no property management experience, the pressure on property management firms is mounting. These challenges are not just operational—they impact the quality of housing services, regulatory compliance, and the financial health of properties across the country.

At the Affordable Housing Training Academy (AHTA), we believe that understanding these staffing challenges is the first step toward solving them. That’s why we’re launching the 2025 Affordable Housing Industry Staffing Survey.

This brief survey—just 11 questions and under 4 minutes to complete—is designed to capture the current state of staffing across affordable housing properties. Whether you're a Property Manager, Regional Manager, Compliance Officer, or part of the executive team, your insights are invaluable.
