COQ

Communities of Quality®

An award-winning program recognized by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE)

Get recognized as a Community of Quality® through NAHMA’s National Recognition and Awards Program.

Affordable housing providers who create safe, attractive, well-maintained properties that are neighborhood assets deserve to be recognized for their outstanding achievements.

That’s why the National Affordable Housing Management Association created the Communities of Quality® (COQ) National Recognition and Awards program. When your property meets NAHMA’s high standards in physical maintenance, financial management, programs and services, employee credentials and other criteria, it becomes a member of an elite group.

COQ properties qualify for regional and national awards, a listing in an online registry of the country’s top affordable properties,and the use of COQ marketing materials. See below for participation and program details.

THE COMMUNITIES OF QUALITY AWARDS PROGRAM

The Communities of Quality Awards honor the achievements of affordable housing providers who make an unprecedented contribution to developing outstanding properties for families of modest means. The awards are co-sponsored by HD Supply™ Multifamily Solutions, a leading supplier of maintenance and renovation products to the multihousing industry, and Navigate Affordable Housing Partners, a leading provider of consulting and development services to public housing authorities and HUD’s Section 8 PBCA for Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and Connecticut.
