Let’s learn, share, and grow together! 💬✨

This episode has a little bit of everything: affordable housing leadership, HOTMA jokes, SAHMA stories… and Cookie Monster.

Recorded live at the SAHMA Leadership Conference last year, we sat down with Tony Jones, Vice President of Operations at Community Management Corporation, to talk about:
🏘️ 30+ years in affordable housing
📋 Industry changes & compliance pressures
🤝 Why networking and SAHMA matter
❤️ Putting residents first
😂 The HOTMA song you didn’t know you needed

Plus, Tony shares the surprisingly heartfelt story behind his “Cookie Monster” nickname.
Listen now and stick around until the end… Tony won't disappoint. 🍪

would like to take time this Memorial Day to honor and remember our brave service men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

🚂 What a journey! This week, affordable housing professionals from across Tennessee and beyond gathered in Nashville for the 2026 Tennessee Affordable Housing Conference, where we came together to learn, connect, and move full steam ahead in affordable housing.

With the completion of our 2026 Spring Conference season, we’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many members across the Southeast. The learning and momentum continue this summer as we look ahead to the Southeast Virtual Conference in June and the SAHMA Leadership Conference in August. We can’t wait for what’s next! ✨🏡

Reminder: In observance of Memorial Day, the SAHMA Office will be closed on Monday, May 25th, and will resume standard business hours on Tuesday.

Next week, we have the opportunity to connect virtually with the SAHMA community. Check out all of the digital learning have coming up after the holiday weekend!
