SAHF has signed onto a letter with the Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition (UMMC) proposing several recommendations to a proposed FHFA rule change regarding its "Duty to Serve" regulation.
SAHF joined a comment letter led by the National Leased Housing Association (NLHA) expressing concerns with several aspects of OMB's proposed overhaul to Uniform Guidance for Federal Assistance.
In a new op-ed for Next City, SAHF President & CEO Theresa Dumais and Capital One's Shena Ashley argue that resident services should be treated as core housing infrastructure, not a discretionary add-on.
First in a series, this SAHF case study highlights HUB models as a promising pathway for healthcare investment in resident services, while reducing the need to navigate complex healthcare systems. This includes two examples from housing providers Mercy Housing and The Community Builders on how they are advancing health and housing partnerships.

New research from Abt Global finds that service-enriched affordable housing properties generate 26% higher Net Operating Income than comparable properties without resident services.
Complementary research from SAHF also shows that resident services are strongly associated with greater housing stability, financial resilience, and improved health outcomes—demonstrating the dual impact of services on both resident well-being and property performance.
