Annual Awards
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners, and thank you to all the HFAs who submitted entries in the 2025 program!
The Awards for Program Excellence honor state housing finance agencies annually for their outstanding public-purpose programs and practices. The mission of this prestigious program is to recognize exemplary HFA efforts, encourage innovation, identify industry best practices, and facilitate information sharing among HFAs.
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 all HFAs and 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 2025 Annual Conference & Showplace.
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
