Why Housing Organizations and Industry Partners Choose HAI Group Housing Training Institute
Build Specialized Expertise with the CHAM AMS+ Certification Program
The CHAM Asset Management Specialist Plus certification program helps housing professionals strengthen their understanding of asset management, portfolio performance, compliance, and long-term property operations. The hybrid learning community format combines the convenience and accessibility of self-paced learning with peer networking opportunities and guidance from a live facilitator.
For housing providers, AMS+ can support stronger internal expertise. For agents, brokers, consultants, and other partners, it can provide valuable context on how housing organizations operate, make decisions, and manage long-term property performance.

“I was able to sign up and complete the class on RAD. I was nervous but the class was amazing and easy to navigate. I enjoyed the knowledge checks that happen often to keep me on track. I was able to pass the test and receive my certification – ALL FROM HOME!”

Testimonials
Over the past 5 years in California, we have seen a lot of carriers leave the market due to industry concerns. This has led to reduced options, increased costs, and stricter underwriting. HAI Group is truly the industry expert in this space and while not immune to rate increases, they have managed to weather the storm. They assisted us with our client's first RAD renovation almost 14 years ago. They worked with our client to help understand the funding for this important program and we were able to provide solutions for all parties involved. HAI continues to innovate in this ever changing time.

Our agency works with a seemingly endless list of carriers, and HAI Group is hands-down my favorite company to work with. HAI makes doing business easy. While many companies treat customers like ‘just another number,’ HAI makes it clear to us and to our clients that our insureds’ well-being is truly a priority.
Brittany Swinton
Robertson Ryan & Associates
We don’t fully understand insurance, but we have a partner in HAI Group who does, and we consider them part of our development team. Like our other development partners, HAI Group plays a crucial role in making our projects happen. After all these years, we truly value that partnership.
Rhonda R. Mitchell
The Housing Authority of Newport
HAI truly knows affordable housing. They understand the risks and exposures that our clients face, so it’s an easy conversation to have with underwriting when we are looking at new opportunities for clients and prospects. Service has been consistent and ranks at the top of our carrier partners for efficiency and overall ease of requesting endorsement changes, billing, and more.

Before our insurance renewal, we were notified that our property and liability carrier would not renew our policies. Many carriers refused to quote, while those that did, quoted major premium increases. When we contacted HAI Group, their team worked tirelessly to gather the necessary information and helped us place auto, property, and liability coverage with the required limits, at premiums much lower than those quoted by other carriers. I highly recommend HAI Group as a reliable carrier that understands affordable housing.
Erika Munoz
Tacoma Housing Authority
The HAI Group team is absolutely amazing to work with. They stay on top of our portfolio and make sure we secure the appropriate coverage. They are quick to respond to adjustments needed to secure property deals. [Topeka Housing Authority] would highly recommend HAI Group and give their staff kudos for their hard work and dedication to providing stellar customer service.
Aubrey Thompson

[HAI Group] has always been incredibly responsive to our requests, which can be numerous, and their claims process is remarkably smooth. It's a pleasure working with [the claims team] at HAI Group—which is not something I can say about some other providers.
