BCNPHA Awards

The non-profit housing sector is filled with people who are deeply committed to providing affordable housing for individuals and families across BC.

For more than 20 years, BCNPHA has celebrated the work of our sector through the annual BCNPHA Awards. These awards, distributed at the annual Housing Central Conference in November, recognize the outstanding efforts of the leaders whose vision and advocacy deliver transformative change within their organizations and across the sector, inspiring the growth and progress of affordable housing throughout the province.

The award winners are announced as part of the program at our annual Housing Central Conference
