Our clients accomplish amazing things every day, and it’s not often enough that their dedication and efforts are recognized. Whether it’s a news article in a local newspaper, a national award, or recognition from a state agency, we’re extremely proud that tribal housing authorities and other clients we work with are getting noticed.
The Office of Native America Programs (ONAP) for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently added four more of our clients’ projects to its list of Best Practices. Read about two projects that were recognized last year here.
These projects were recognized for using grant funds “creatively and effectively to improve the quality of life for their members.” See the entire list on the HUD ONAP website.
