Culver City, Calif-based Goldrich Kest will be the recipient of the 2020 National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) Award for having the most newly certified “Communities of Quality” in 2020l. The award will be presented at a virtual ceremony to be held in March 2021. Goldrich Kest, one of California’s largest and most successful privately-owned real estate investors, builders and property managers, owns and operates 65 affordable housing communities primarily in California that serve low-income families, seniors and those with disabilities.
The award is based on a stringent set of criteria that take into consideration the health and safety standards of each property; financial solvency of the company; staff credentials; programs and services offered to its residents; endorsements by local governments, state agencies, residents and staff; and visual verification and reports for each property.
“For Goldrich Kest to have earned this honor means that they went through an exhaustive and comprehensive application process that exceeded our established criteria,” says Kris Cook, executive director of the trade organization based in Alexandria, VA. “This is a testament to the exceptionally high standards maintained by Goldrich Kest and their commitment to furthering the mission of NAHMA.”
Added Goldrich Kest CEO Michael E. Drandell, “We are more than delighted to receive this tremendous honor. It is gratifying to be recognized for the efforts we make to better the lives of our valued residents.”
Each of Goldrich Kest’s properties offer a range of programs and services tailored to each community. For instance, some offer its senior members computer classes, yoga, arts and crafts and even salsa dancing as well as monthly excursions to nearby museums, entertainment venues, etc. For the communities serving low-income families, the company offers free summer and after-school programs that keep young people off of the streets and engaged in social and active learning.

Recognized as one of the nation’s most successful real estate companies, Goldrich Kest is a privately owned family-run business that can trace its origins back more than 60 years to two entrepreneurs, Jona Goldrich and Sol Kest, who parlayed their meager savings into a real estate empire.
