Institutional membership is a way for non-profit organizations to benefit from AHP’s housing expertise. Membership is $900 per year, and organizations receive yearly benefits that can be delivered in one of three ways.
The first option is:
- 21 individual appointments for individuals and/or their families. Appointments can be used for either:

- Individual Section 8 sign-up appointments (50 minutes each) for individuals and/or their families. Applications for both the Centralized Waiting List and EOHCL (formerly DHCD) regional non-profit list will be completed.
The second option is:
- An evening presentation of our introductory training, “Thinking about housing”, followed a week or so later by 7 individual appointments as described above.
- Several weeks later, an evening presentation of our training, “Applying for housing”, followed a week or so later by 7 individual appointments as described above.
The third option is:
- A four-part “lunch and learn” comprising our presentation “Getting on the road to housing”, part one of “Thinking about housing”, part two of “Thinking about housing”, and “Applying for housing.”
