Communities of Quality® (COQ)
Get recognized as a Community of Quality through NAHMA’s National Recognition and Awards Program
Affordable housing providers who create safe, attractive, well-maintained properties that are neighborhood assets deserve to be recognized for their outstanding achievements. That’s why the National Affordable Housing Management Association created the Communities of Quality® (COQ) National Recognition and Awards program.
When your property meets NAHMA’s high standards in physical maintenance, financial management, programs and services, employee credentials and other criteria, it becomes a member of an elite group. COQ properties qualify for regional and national awards, a listing in an online registry of the country’s top affordable properties, and the use of COQ marketing materials. See below for participation and program details.
