Wanted: Programs and Individuals Working to Increase Minority Homeownership

Washington, D.C. (May 15, 2006) – The HOPE Awards (“Home Ownership Participation for Everyone”) is an industry awards program sponsored by a partnership of real estate associations whose mission is to help raise public awareness about the need to place a higher priority on creating equality in homeownership.

Organizations and individuals who are making outstanding contributions to increase minority homeownership can submit their applications for the fourth HOPE Awards online at http://hopeawards.org. The acronym HOPE stands for Home Ownership Participation for Everyone.

The HOPE Awards Partnership is committed to identifying and recognizing the very best of projects and programs that increase minority homeownership, revitalize communities and expand affordable housing opportunities. Individuals, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, state and local agencies are eligible. The awards are given every other year.

Each HOPE Award recipient will receive a $10,000 cash award, national media coverage, an opportunity to speak at a minority housing symposium, a prestigious HOPE Awards statue and paid travel expenses to attend the black tie awards gala in Washington, D.C.

Applications for the 2007 HOPE Awards will remain open until December 1, 2006. For HOPE Awards entry forms, submission guidelines and to view past HOPE Award recipient nominations, please visit www.hopeawards.org, or call 202/383-1192.

The categories for the 2007 awards include homeownership education, finance, project of the year, real estate brokerage, public policy, media and leadership. The awards will be determined by a panel of distinguished judges and based on the impact of the nominee’s work on promoting minority homeownership, use of innovative ideas, acceptance by the minority community and focus on affordability.

The third HOPE Awards, which were granted in 2005, honored Allen Chiang of Presidential Inc., Rowland, Calif. (Brokerage Award); Little Haiti Housing Association of Miami, Fla. (Education Award); Partnership For Homeownership of Springfield, Ill. (Finance Award); Coachella Valley Housing Council of Indio, Calif. (Project of the Year Award); Antonio Matarranz of Avangard Real Estate Services, Dallas (Leadership Award); and HOMEWORDS Program of the LA Times, Chatsworth, Calif. (Media Award). No award was made in the public policy category in 2005.

The HOPE Awards is a national industry awards program created by a partnership of real estate associations. The partnership joined together to support the HOPE Awards to raise public awareness on the vital issue of minority homeownership and to provide a means to share inspiring and enlightening experiences with others who may want to replicate these projects and programs to help the nation achieve the goal of homeownership parity.

The HOPE Partners include: the California Association of Real Estate Brokers, the Chinese American Real Estate Professionals Association, the Chinese Real Estate Association of America, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, Asian Real Estate Association of America and the National Association of Realtors®.
