About Affordable Housing Advisory Services, LLC (AHAS)

The country is faced with the growing challenges of providing affordable housing.  Most states offer subsidized housing through various federal and state programs; however, with declining budget funding for subsidized housing coupled with the aging supply of housing, there is a significant need to increase the supply of safe, decent, and affordable housing units to low-income households and provide on-site services that may help increase the opportunity and productivity of its tenancy in the communities it owns.   

AHAS is dedicated to providing comprehensive asset management and consulting services to clients who own multifamily assets within the affordable housing industry – including properties subsidized by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and USDA Rural Development as well as those developed and/or financed with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits/HOME, Tax-Exempt bonds, RAD and USDA 515 RD financing.  Fueled by the entrepreneurial spirit of its Founder, Paul J. Ponte, AHAS offers a customer-centric alternative for Owners and Investors of multi-family real estate assets.  We use a hands-on approach, which combines property management expertise with the asset management function, that is custom-tailored for each asset to enhance value by proactively seeking opportunities to improve operations, reduce costs, and increase revenue.

With regards to subsidized properties, we understand the importance of quality asset management and offer our resources, relationships, experience, and talent to your community.  Working in partnership with the local HUD office, with solid ties to local government representatives and contractors, we work diligently to exceed Owner expectations by not only enhancing the living experience of each resident but also anticipating their concerns.
