NLIHC encourages affordable housing advocates to submit applications or nominations for the 2021 Annual Organizing Awards today! Two awards will be granted for achievements in expanding housing funding, renters’ rights, combatting homelessness, and organizing low-income people. Application/nominations can be made here.
The NLIHC Organizing Awards recognize outstanding achievement during 2020 in statewide, regional, citywide, neighborhood, and/or resident organizing that furthers NLIHC’s mission of achieving socially just public policy to ensure people with the lowest incomes in the U.S. have affordable and decent homes. Special consideration will be given to nominations that incorporate tenant- or resident-centered organizing. The awards will be featured at the NLIHC 2021 Virtual Housing Policy Forum being held in the spring of 2021.
Nominations for the awards are due by 5:00 pm E.T. on Friday, January 15, 2021.
An Organizing Awards Committee composed of NLIHC board members and previous award winners will determine this year’s honorees. NLIHC will provide two representatives of each honored organization complimentary Forum registrations.
To be eligible, nominated organizations must be current NLIHC members. Organizations may self-nominate. NLIHC board members and Award Committee members may not nominate an organization with which they are employed or affiliated.
