The Housing Opportunity Foundation is now accepting nominations for the 2010 Humanitarian Award!

The Humanitarian Award was established in 2007 to recognize individuals, projects or groups that have made outstanding contributions in the community. The recipient of the award is recognized annually at the annual association/CMLS Holiday Awards Luncheon & Annual Meeting in December. In addition, the recipient receives a crystal award in his or her honor, and the opportunity to donate at least $1,000 to a designated 501(c)(3) organization of his or her choice. 

Help the foundation honor those in our community that are making a difference in the lives of our neighbors! Find more information and the nomination form here. 

The 2010 Humanitarian Award application deadline is Sept. 3.
