The NCSHA Annual Awards for Program Excellence honor state Housing Finance Agencies
(HFAs) for their outstanding public purpose programs, projects, and practices. The program’s
mission is to:
• Share information among HFAs;
• Identify industry best practices;
• Recognize exemplary HFA efforts; and
• Encourage HFA innovation.
Awards Categories: Communications, Homeownership, Legislative Campaign, Management
Innovation, Rental Housing, Special Needs Housing, and Special Achievement
All categories except Special Achievement include subcategories. Up to two awards may be
made in each subcategory, as well as in the Special Achievement category.
Eligibility: Any HFA member of NCSHA is eligible to enter. HFAs may not enter a
subcategory they won the previous year; this also applies to the Special Achievement category.
Entry Fee: A $35 fee is required for each entry, up to 10 entries. A fee of $45 is required for
each additional entry. Make check(s) payable to NCSHA and send to 2011 Annual Awards at

Judges: Judges are chosen by NCSHA based on relevant expertise, experience, and
impartiality. HFA executive directors or their designees will be asked to serve as judges for
subcategories and the Special Achievement category in which they won awards the previous
year.
Disqualification: NCSHA will disqualify entries that do not comply with the deadline or Entry
Rules.
