At The 2020 Housing Conference, we announced the winners of our annual NMA Housing Awards. We are excited to announce the recipients on the NMA blog and recognize the amazing work that these housing agencies have done for their communities!

First launched in 2007, the NMA Housing Awards were created to recognize individual agency performance and honor excellence in the affordable housing industry. The awards are open to housing authorities and associations throughout the United States in two categories: The Development Award and The Resident Service Award. Nominations may be submitted in either category as a small or large housing authority. Recipients of the Development Award include new construction, green initiatives, property improvements, and out-of-the-box financing, while the Resident Service Award honors leaders in community outreach and efforts to improve the future of families.

Over forty years, NMA has built a reputation for excellence through on our work in the PIH program (including HCV, PBV, and public housing), multifamily program, LIHTC, CDBG-DR, and more. With projects ranging from training to consulting to administering more than 100,000+ vouchers, NMA has steadily grown into a leader in the industry.

Join us on January 13, 2020 for a webinar in Multifamily EIV.

A "back to basics" course on HUD's Enterprise Income Verification System for multifamily users. The use of EIV has been mandatory in multifamily properties since January 2010. Remember there is a financial penalty for not using EIV "in its entirety".

In this course, NMA will cover each of the EIV Income and Verification Reports. We will cover the use of each report, required timeframes, how to resolve discrepancies and record retention requirements. NMA will also cover the two required master binders, their set up and maintenance and provide templates for both. This webinar will not cover PIH EIV requirements, only multifamily EIV is covered in this webinar.

Have you sent us your application yet for the 2019 NMA Housing Awards? Entries are due Friday, November 29, 2019. Entries must be postmarked or emailed by that date.
