Our Public Housing Management Story
With more than 20 years of experience in managing public housing communities, AOG Living is one of the most successful and respected property management companies in the country. This experience includes managing assets with blended occupancies of complex multi-layered financing with extensive affordable housing compliance. The varied portfolio of public housing assets under AOG Living management with heavy regulatory compliance includes compliance management and monitoring for the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), Project Based Section 8, Home, RAD and Tax-Exempt Bond affordable housing programs. These assets and portfolios require the utmost flexibility and commitment in order to meet our clients’ goals. We strive to provide our clients with superior service as we deal with the management challenges presented by their diverse portfolios of garden style, mid-rise, high-rise, and duplexes that range in size from 50-600 units and with, in many cases, deferred maintenance issues due to the advanced age of their public housing inventories.
AOG Living has held a contract to manage blended sites with the Houston Housing Authority (HHA) since 2001. Our portfolio’s management performances meeting HUD benchmarks have contributed to HHA consistently being named a high performing agency by HUD. Currently, we also manage portfolios for the San Antonio Housing Authority, Housing Authority of Birmingham District, Port Arthur Housing Authority, Winter Park Housing Authority, and The Housing Authority of Hot Springs. These Management contracts encompassing almost two decades have proven to be successful partnerships as a result of performance benchmarks being met annually by AOG Living. Our proven track record of improving PHA performance indicators, such as vacancy rates, rent collections, unit turnaround times, and REAC scores are responsible for strengthening the long-term community partnerships that we enjoy with our public housing partners.

The Winter Park Housing Authority (WPHA) is pleased to partner with Allied Orion and their team for property management services. Allied Orion was selected because of its experience managing multiple property types, including public and other assisted housing. WPHA is excited about the enthusiasm show by Orion as they 'hit the ground running' in making a smooth transition. Their focus on resident satisfaction was the distinguishing feature that separated them from other management companies. Any good property management company can take care of buildings; but Orion demonstrated a commitment to the people who make the apartments their homes.
I highly recommend Allied Orion Group and their residential management team. I have dealt with many of the company’s employees, and each of them is extremely proficient in their subject areas and has always been professional, knowledgeable and responsive to our agency’s needs and requests. I trust Allied Orion Group wholeheartedly with the management of our properties, and I would recommend them to any agency that is contemplating a new or change in residential management company.
When the city of City of Houston received an influx of residents from New Orleans in need of housing, we along with other affordable housing providers, were expected to facilitate housing for displaced families. Allied Orion Group’s staff and leadership worked alongside the Houston Housing Authority to ensure that evacuees were adequately placed. None of Allied Orion’s competitors, who also worked with Houston Housing Authority, offered assistance.
Allied Orion Group has distinguished themselves as a conscientious and pioneering company who has garnered respect (and envy) in the affordable housing industry. Both the President and Chief Operating Officer are very accessible, engaged, supportive, and lead with a demonstrative level of integrity. If you are considering Allied Orion Group to provide your company/organization a service, you cannot go wrong. The level of service they offer is, hands down, better than their competition.
We have seen remarkable improvements in the collections of tenant account receivables, in our overall occupancy rate and in the reduction of outstanding maintenance work orders since Allied Orion Group became our selected private management company.
Allied Orion Group with its strong background in tax credit management and professional staff (which includes an in-house compliance department devoted to the monitoring of compliance documents and site auditing) was a good choice as a management partner at our redeveloped 500 unit site. In addition, Allied Orion has also successfully assisted in the lease-up of seven communities developed with allocated tax credits since 2001. Allied Orion Group as a management partner has supported this agency’s mission to provide quality affordable housing for our clients while providing reliable and professional customer service as well.
Our Management Team: Our Greatest Asset
AOG Living’s management team at both the site and corporate level recognizes that the management of public housing assets requires compassion and understanding to deal with the many challenges faced by public housing agency clients.
