American Seniors Housing Association to Become an Independent Organization

WASHINGTON, DC-A new independent trade association serving the needs of the senior housing industry is now in operation here. The American Seniors Housing Association is separating from the National Multi Housing Council and will formally begin operations Jan. 1, 2001 as an independent trade association. The association’s new office is located at 5100 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 30, according to David S. Schless, ASHA president.

ASHA started as a senior housing committee within NMHI about 10 years ago, says Schless. ASHA AND NMHI will continue to cooperate in those areas where it is mutually beneficial, particularly on regulatory and legislative matters.
