Housing America's Heroes

NHC's 40th Annual Gala will honor the organizations that serve America's veterans by meeting their housing needs. NHC has chosen this theme to shine a light on a housing industry united in its desire to serve this critical and growing need and the partnerships (public and private) that are making a difference. The tone of the evening, while celebratory, will also present a call to action for even greater involvement from the housing sector and explore the public policy imperative that is mobilizing our industry to meet the diverse needs that will continue to grow as more veterans return home.
