HOUSING&’s Housing Achievement Awards recognize the most outstanding and innovative housing practitioners, developments and solutions across the metropolitan region. All members are encouraged to nominate a partner – or apply themselves!

Top four reasons why you should nominate a HOUSING& member TODAY:

1. A Chance to Celebrate with a 25-Year Old

HOUSING& is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. What better way to honor a partner or be recognized for your contribution to the region than during our big birthday celebration?! Since its inception, HOUSING& has been a thriving force in supporting various practitioners and developers in the industry. Being honored the year HOUSING& celebrates its legacy will be a landmark event not to be missed!

2. It’s a Great Time to Shine

Did we mention winners receive a beautiful glass award and a chance to see their name in lights? While the work we do is self-rewarding, winning a HOUSING& Housing Award is a great feeling. During the 2016 Annual Meeting & Housing Expo, awardees are honored in front of 1200+ colleagues and partners. It’s also an excellent opportunity for a nominator to highlight organizations, partners and colleagues who have exhibited noteworthy accomplishments…. but wait, there’s more! Awardees receive a complimentary table for 10, an exhibit booth, promotion in our Annual Meeting marketing materials and press coordinated for the event! Some categories are even open for self-nomination – click here to find out which ones.

3. There’s Something for Everyone

This year we’ve added the new “Emerging Leader” category to align with HOUSING&’s focus on supporting the next generation of community development leaders. The individual that receives this award will go down in HOUSING& history as the first-ever awardee! Who’s eligible? Agents of change under the age of 40 and who have proven an exemplary dedication to the mission of preserving and/or developing affordable housing in their respective field. Find out more about this exciting new award category and the other award opportunities.

4. It’s FREE

Who doesn’t love free? As a HOUSING& member, there are no additional costs associated in nominating yourself – or a colleague or partner – for these sought after awards. Nominate someone today!
