About RAM Housing Specialists

Serving HUD Agencies & Small Business

RAM Housing Specialists is located in Aberdeen, South Dakota and we serve clients across the nation. When RAM was established in 1974 our focus was in accounting services for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) agencies. In the last 40 years RAM’s team of experts hasn’t changed much making us one of the most knowledgeable HUD accounting partners available.

We bring more than 170 years of combined experience to the table. We also serve this industry through a custom HUD software solution that helps our clients operate their organizations more efficiently. Through personal service and industry-leading software we help our clients navigate the complicated regulations of the public housing industry.

We assist a number of our housing providers with property management services. Our intimate knowledge of the public housing industry has given us a solid understanding of the challenges property owners face and our staff is committed to being a dependable partner.

We also offer bookkeeping and payroll services for small businesses in Aberdeen and around the region, serving clients ranging from restaurants to pharmacies and industries of all types.

What Our Clients Say

RAM has been integral in teaching me the ins and outs of running a housing complex. From HUD reporting to interpreting HUD policy to even finding an architect – RAM is just a call or email away for any of my questions.
– Larry Holand
Executive Director, Howard Housing & Redevelopment Commission
RAM has been a great resource by managing our payroll tax filings and other requirements so that we can focus on goals. RAM is an asset to our team – we couldn’t run our business as smooth and efficiently without them.
– Rachel
Executive Director, North East South Dakota Area Health Education Center
Our housing authority likes to use RAM Software because it’s easy, fast and they have great support. And our auditors like it, too! We’d recommend RAM Software to anyone in our situation.
– Blake Strehlow
Executive Director, Cass County Housing Authority
We’ve been using RAM for our accounting needs for over 25 years. With their knowledge and experience, we’ve been able to focus on our daily activities and not our accounting needs.
– Jeannie Cadwell
Executive Director, Lower Brule Housing Authority
RAM does a tremendous job in meeting all of our accounting needs. Equally as important for us is the exceptional consulting they provide for our staff. They offer experience and knowledge that’s always accessible and prompt.
