Are there individuals and organizations in your community that are making a difference for affordable housing? Perhaps you work or volunteer with an organization that has improved the quality of life in your community because of the housing opportunities it's provided.

The NC Association of Realtors Housing Opportunity Foundation would like to honor those who are making the biggest impact on affordable housing in North Carolina through the 2008 Homes4NC Affordable Housing Achievement Awards.

The awards program was established in 2005 to honor and learn from those whose hard work and innovation is leading the way to solving our most pressing housing challenges. The Homes4NC Affordable Housing Achievement Awards will help educate REALTORS and give the public about the critical need for affordable housing in our communities. They will also give well-deserved recognition to those programs and organizations leading the way.

The nomination deadline is June 27. You can visit www.Homes4NC.org for more information and click here for a nomination form.
