The AHC Endorsement Process

The AHC is composed of 21 MBAKS members who contribute to the AHC and are nominated and elected to the AHC board by members. AHC directors are ultimately responsible for voting on all funding decisions. AHC directors work with MBAKS staff to vet and interview candidates for local and state elected offices. Pursuant to its bylaws, the AHC only endorses and provides financial support for candidates who will be strong advocates on housing issues that are important to MBAKS members. Prior to making decisions on endorsements and contributions, the AHC may ask candidates to answer a questionnaire on a variety of housing issues; the AHC also interviews the candidates.
