Based in Washington, DC, the American Seniors Housing Association is a nonprofit industry association serving the senior housing sector. It represents roughly 500 member organizations involved in financing, development, and operation across the full spectrum of housing and services for older adults, including active adult, independent living, assisted living, memory care, and life plan communities. Collectively, its members own or operate about 750,000 senior living units in the United States. It focuses on legislative and regulatory advocacy while supporting research and national initiatives intended to improve the quality of services and ensure older adults can live with dignity in the setting of their choice. In March 2026, ASHA's president, David Schless, received the Alzheimer's Association Lifetime Achievement Award, reflecting ongoing engagement with the broader aging community.
