National Affordable Housing Insurance

Insurance for low and mixed-income housing entities not in the public housing program

The National Affordable Housing Program (NAHP) gives you the freedom and flexibility to build the insurance program you want and need.

NAHP is an insurance program that is designed to meet the needs of the affordable housing market.  Our competitively priced package policy offers comprehensive property and casualty coverages to multiple types of arrangements, including Multi-family Apartment Owners, Low Income Housing Tax Credit Developments (LIHTC), Mixed Income Housing Developments, Low Income Senior Housing, Public Housing Authorities and Rural Housing Developments.

  • Public housing agencies
  • Multi-family apartment owners

National in Scope, Local in Service

Our program is available in 48 states, except locations in Tier I, California and Texas. We have the capability to tailor coverage to best fit any local, state, or national housing portfolio.  Our team of underwriters has years of experience working with affordable housing clients in both the public and private space. Claims are handled in-house at our headquarters and with local adjusters.

Market Space

We customize coverage for clients that satisfies their financial and risk tolerance objectives. In addition to public housing agencies, NAHP offers comprehensive insurance for low and mixed-income housing entities affiliated with public housing. We can address the needs of affordable multi-family apartment owners, LIHTC, rental assistance demonstration conversions, mixed income housing developments, rural housing developments, low income senior housing and Section 8 housing.
