Washington, D.C. (June 15, 2016) – The NAHRO Awards of Merit Program honors NAHRO housing and community development member organizations for their work in making communities better.

“NAHRO’s Awards of Merit program is a tremendous way for housing and community development officials to discover and learn from their colleagues’ success stories, it is a true recognition of the great work being done all across this nation by local housing authorities and community development agencies,” NAHRO President Steve Merritt says.
