The Bremerton Housing Authority has received a national award
for its superior housing and community-development programs.
The local housing authority was among 18 entities to receive the
2009 Award of Excellence from the National Association of Housing
and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO).
A NAHRO leader credited the Bremerton Housing Authority with its
construction of Bay Vista Commons in 2006, which can accept as many
as 66 Medicaid-eligible residents and which has 12 units reserved
for residents with dementia.
“We are proud to recognize the achievements of our members who are
committed to finding innovative solutions and groundbreaking
programs that address local needs and opportunities that enhance
the lives of families, operations and community development,” said
NAHRO President Renée Rooker.
