Lena white specifically, the HACB was awarded "2009 Low Rent Public Housing Program of the Year"
honors for HUD Region 1X, which oversees the work of sixty-six housing authorities in
California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and Guam. The award is for the 2009-10 operational
year, which concluded October 31, 2010. HUD's Director of the Office of Public Housing -
San Francisco, Mr. Stephen SchneIler, provided the following comment in making the award
at the winter regional conference of the National Association of Housing and
Redevelopment Officials, Napa:
"The Public Housing program of the year is a High Performer that keeps improving itself
and its housing. The agency has a diverse portfolio that serves multiple communities in
urban and rural areas of its county. Focused on maintaining a stable, service-oriented
agency with along-term vision for its communities, it truly has impressed us with its
thoughtful and compassionate approach in developing its policies and providing housing and
services."
The HACB is grateful for the ongoing support of the Butte County Board of Supervisors,
without which such achievement would not be possible. Our work together makes a positive
contribution to the housing of approximately 3,000 of our County's most vulnerable
households and, in turn, the health of the County as a whole.
Very truly yours,
