Superhero awards

This award is given to a project team that represents the best in Indian Country development. The honor goes to a team innovating in our field using new ideas and courageous action.

Nominees can include multiple team members who have ensured a project’s success: the Tribal staff members and project partners such as investors, attorneys, accountants, and others.

A Tribal nation or Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE) that has demonstrated exemplary work on its first housing tax credit project or economic development — or the first in many years — is honored with this award.

This honor goes to a project team for its exemplary work on a rehabilitation project or revitalization effort that breathes new life into its community.

A dynamic Native professional who works to provide housing for American Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian families receives this award. The honoree represents the highest professional standards, bringing new ideas and a fresh perspective to affordable housing.

This award goes to a professional who sparks positive economic change in Native communities. The honoree has helped build a strong community through infrastructure, health care, education, business, or other community projects.

A construction or maintenance professional who has played a key role in building your community wins this award. The awardee knows how to manage a project, stretch a dollar, and battle the elements to deliver a quality product on time.

With this award, we honor an occupancy, resident services, compliance or asset management professional ensuring housing remains strong for the future. The honoree will be a housing authority employee who listens to the needs of families and puts plans into action.
