Don’t miss the opportunity to showcase your work in affordable housing or to nominate another property for its excellence in affordable housing. The 36th annual Housing North Carolina Awards will celebrate the best affordable housing in the state – housing that improves the lives of residents and their communities. 

New This Year 
Recognition will be given in the following categories: Innovation in Housing, Excellence in Sustainability, Creative Partnerships, and Community Impact. Any property type can be entered for consideration in any of the categories.
