ONPHA Award for Excellence

About this award

The ONPHA Award for Excellence recognizes non-profit housing providers that respond to tenant or community needs with imagination and insight. These outstanding organizations go beyond their housing mandates, building strong communities and partnerships, housing populations that have been poorly served, and demonstrating a strong commitment to managing housing more effectively.

This award recognizes an organization (rather than an individual).

Eligibility criteria

The organization must meet the following criteria:

• Be an ONPHA Housing Provider Member.
• Offer services that go beyond housing.
• Build strong tenant communities and community partnerships.
• House people who have been underserved by other approaches to housing.
• Successfully advocate for the development of new non-profit housing.
• Develop new ways to manage housing more effectively.
• Demonstrate originality and innovation.
