FREEHOLD, NJ, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UMH Properties, Inc. (NYSE: UMH) (TASE: UMH), a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in manufactured home communities, announced today that it was added to the Russell 2000 Value-Defensive Index, which identifies smaller-cap, high-quality, and lower-volatility stocks.

Including UMH Properties indicates that our portfolio, which benefits from steady, essential housing demand and inflation-adjusted tangible real estate, meets these stability criteria. We anticipate our inclusion to result in greater visibility for UMH and to broaden our shareholder base.”
