Why Enter?
Why should your HFA enter NCSHA’s Annual Awards for Program Excellence?
- To contribute to NCSHA’s body of knowledge about HFA programs and practices. All entries become part of the extensive library of resources on our website and are available to benefit the entire affordable housing community.
- To support our collective mission of advancing, through education and advocacy, the state HFAs’ efforts to provide affordable housing to those who need it. Your entries educate and inspire your peers in agencies nationwide. And NCSHA relies on them to educate Congress, the administration, the industry, and the media about the incredible work HFAs are doing and to advocate for the federal resources to continue.
- To establish your team as innovators in the affordable housing community — and to recognize your employees’ hard work.
- To benchmark your results with those of HFAs around the country.
HFAs may be invited to present on their entries during NCSHA’s 2024 Annual Conference & Showcase.
Winning HFAs will receive recognition:
- during the Awards presentation at the Annual Conference
- on the NCSHA website
- in announcements to NCSHA’s members and partners
- in a press release sent to industry media
Award recipients also will receive:
- an attractive award to display in their offices
- the opportunity to have a complimentary professional photo taken during the Annual Conference for use in promoting their achievement
