RIHousing raked in the accolades at the annual National Council of State Housing Agencies
(NCSHA) conference. Out of more than 115 submissions for awards in 18
categories, the corporation was honored for program innovation in
Communications for its spring homebuying campaign, “It’s Time to Buy.”
The campaign’s simple message, “It’s Time to Buy a Home,”
resonated with homebuyers, realtors and lender partners, contributing to a 48%
increase in mortgage registrations and compelling Rhode Islanders to take the
first step toward homeownership.
Also at the NCSHA conference, Executive Director Barbara
Fields was elected to the organization’s national Board of Directors. As NCSHA
considers its priorities for the year ahead, she will work with the board to
shape the organization’s agenda.
Finally, Director of Leased Housing and Rental Services Claribel
Shavers was recognized for her service and exemplary contributions to the
housing industry, receiving the prestigious State Agency Person of the Year
from the New England Affordable Housing
Management Association (NEAHMA) at its annual conference.
Congratulations to all award winners!
