About the Vision Awards

National Housing & Rehabilitation Association instituted its Annual Vision Awards in 2004 to honor affordable housing and community development leaders for their invaluable contributions and years of dedications to providing affordable apartments to American families.  Our awardees have continually exhibited great foresight and incredible perseverance in addressing affordable housing matters.
