Provider members of AAHSA may be any not-for-profit, voluntary or government-sponsored organization providing housing or care for the aging. In most states, AAHSA membership is initiated through one of our affiliated state associations. Please contact your state directly for a membership application. If you do not see your state listed please contact AAHSA Member Services, (202) 508-1205. Provider member dues are based upon an organization's program services revenue.
