AMS+ Learning Community is CHAM’s new hybrid pathway to the Asset Management Specialist certificate, offered in partnership with HAI Group Housing Training Institute. This program equips you with the fundamentals of multifamily affordable housing asset management, focusing on property performance, owner goals, and the critical exchange of information between development, property management, and ownership.
With AMS+ you’ll complete the standard self-paced Asset Management Specialist certificate courses plus join live, facilitator-led sessions and engage with peers. It’s our popular AMS certificate program enhanced with structure, coaching, and a built-in community of practice.
