collection across these six award programs. Each award recognizes
awardees for their innovation and commitment to raising industry
standards and increasing the quality of life for low- and moderate-
income households. Below is a brief description of each of the six
award programs.
The HUD Secretary's Award for Public-Philanthropic Partnerships
The Public-Philanthropic Partnerships Award recognizes excellence
in partnerships that have transformed the relationships between the
public and philanthropic sectors and led to measurable benefits in
housing and community development for low- and moderate-income
families. By strengthening the connection between HUD and philanthropy,
these awards highlight the power of collective impact that can be
achieved through public-philanthropic partnerships between government
entities and foundations.
The HUD Secretary's Awards for Healthy Homes
The Healthy Homes Awards promote the innovation and partnerships
needed to create healthy homes and communities for low-income residents
by working across the health, environment, and housing sectors.
HUD Secretary's Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation
The Secretary's Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation
recognizes developers, organizations, and agencies for their success in
advancing the goals of historic preservation while providing affordable
housing and/or expanded economic opportunities for low-and moderate-
income families and individuals.
HUD Secretary's Planning Award
The Secretary's Planning Award honors excellence in community
planning that has led to measurable benefits in economic development,
employment, education, or housing choice and mobility for low- and
moderate-income residents. The award stresses that communities
demonstrate how integrative planning led to tangible results, such as
expanding the supply of available affordable housing, employment
opportunities connected by effective transportation systems, or a host
of community-empowering strategies. The award recognizes the planning
discipline as an important partner in how creative housing, economic
development, and private investments are used in--or in tandem with--a
comprehensive community development plan.
HUD Secretary's Housing Design Awards
The Secretary's Housing Design Awards recognize excellence in
affordable housing design, community-based design, participatory
design, and accessibility. These awards demonstrate that design matters
and provide examples of important benchmarks in the housing industry.
HUD Secretary's Award for Tribal Housing Impact
The Secretary's Tribal Housing Impact Award celebrates excellence
and innovation in addressing housing and community development needs
within Native American communities. By honoring Tribes and Tribally
Designated Housing Entities (TDHES) significant housing and community
development related achievements, HUD is fostering sustainable and
vibrant Tribal communities for generations to come.

housing for low- and moderate-income people. This competition invites
