NAHB/NOD Award to Honor HBA Program That Helps People with Disabilities - 11/15/2004 - Real Estate Education Training Schools Conferences

NAHB/NOD Award to Honor HBA Program That Helps People with Disabilities

State and local home builders assocations are invited to enter the 2005 NAHB/NOD Disability Initiative Recognition Awards program. The award, conducted in partnership with the National Organization on Disability (NOD),recognizes outstanding examples of programs, projects and activities conducted by HBAs that further the goal of full participation of people with disabilities in community life.

Entries are due by Dec.15. The winner will be announced at the 2005 International Builders Show in January. The winning HBA will receive a cash award.

The winning program in 2004 was “Rampathon” by the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties in Washington State. The HBA and its members assisted 21 area residents by building wheelchair ramps for their homes.

The 2003 winning “Camp for All” project by the Building Industries Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania involved the wheelchair-accessible renovation of a campers’ cabin and health cabin that enabled children with differing abilities to attend summer camp together.

NOD has been a leading force in changing attitudes and in expanding the involvement of people with disabilities in the community since its founding in 1982. NAHB has participated in NOD’s National Partnership Program for more than five years.
