Recognition is important.
This award recognizes a non-profit housing provider that demonstrates resilience in the face of a major challenge to their operations or developments.
How to get nominated.
The organization must be a BCNPHA non-profit housing member in good standing. The committee will notify the recipient by September 2026.
How does an organization qualify?
Applications will be scored in the following areas:
Develop and implement a strong and sustained response to an internal or external challenge.
Ensured that its residents were supported through a challenge or crisis, and has engaged residents in meaningful ways through its crisis response.
Develop and/or update business continuity plans in light of their experiences sustaining services through a crisis.
I wish our communities weren’t needing as much as their needing right now but I’m also excited to be part of a team that continues to rise to that occasion, finding unique ways to deliver more services to more people.
