Deadline Approaches for South Carolina Housing Achievement Awards - 10/23/2002
[Columbia, SC] Groups and individuals have less than one month to submit nominations for the South Carolina Housing Achievement Awards program, according to State Housing Authority officials, the awards program’s sponsor. Now in its eighth year, the awards celebrate the work of individuals and organizations who have made exceptional contributions to the state by providing and advancing affordable housing for South Carolinians.
Nominations may be made in one of seven categories: Public Sector, Private Sector-nonprofit, Private Sector-for profit, Housing Development, Elected Official, Volunteer, and Creative Partnerships. Nominees must have been instrumental in creating or supporting affordable housing, implementing housing-related programs, or assisting others in solving housing problems. Any group or individual may submit one or more nominations, but nominees are limited to one category only. The work honored does not have to include State Housing Authority funding or program involvement, but it must have resulted in affordable housing for South Carolina.
Entries should be made on the official nomination form. Supporting documentation, such as additional testimonials or photographs, may be submitted but cannot be returned. There is no entry fee. All nominations must be received by Friday, November 15, 2002.
Please call Alice Brooks, (803) 734-2367, to request an entry form or for additional information. Nomination forms may also be completed online: www.sha.state.sc.us/awards.html. The 2002 South Carolina Housing Achievement Awards honorees will be announced January 9, 2003 at the Palmetto Housing Forum to be held in Columbia at the Adam’s Mark Hotel.
