In partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the ACHP/HUD Secretary’s Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation recognizes a project that has advanced the goals of historic preservation while providing affordable housing to low- and moderate-income families and individuals and supporting community and/or economic development. Nominated projects and activities are judged on the success they have achieved in rehabilitating, restoring, preserving, and interpreting architectural and cultural heritage. Preference is given to efforts that adaptively re-use historic buildings, include HUD funding or financing, and contribute to local community revitalization efforts.
