The first national club established to bring temporary/interim housing providers together for the traditional purpose of marketing the business was the National Interim Housing Network (Nihn). The Nihn was created to unify marketing of all member businesses with the hope to share company growth. From managing lowest line realities with a need for instant and exact speculation returns, the Nihn attempted to rise to the challenge, but because of the industry's opposing soldiery - some corporate housing providers growing faster than others - the goal was difficult to obtain. The club disbanded within a few years.
By 2002, just eight years after the association of Temporary Housing Providers (Athp) was created, the Corporate Housing Providers association (Chpa) was created, which reflected the current industry's terminology. It was generally just a name change.

Today, the Chpa works to inflict the standards in company professionalism. There are more than two hundred and twenty corporate housing associates worldwide that are part of Chpa, and their membership over the past three years has grown, on average, by twenty-five percent annually. Today, the association serves its members and the business through:
* a pro certification program, Certified Corporate Housing pro (Cchp)
* an yearly discussion and awards program, recognizing excellence in the industry
* limitless networking events throughout North America
* a Code of Ethics
* an yearly business survey
* a monthly, online data collection tool, Chip
* newsletters and communications together with an online news service
* Webinars and lasting instruction opportunities
Corporate housing is a universally recognized segment of the lodging industry, and it a victorious and profitable business. Along with networking, education, certification, and data sharing, Chpa members grow their company and enlarge their reach through an international network of partners.
