SCANPH Hall of Fame

Honoring Industry Trailblazers

Since 1985, SCANPH has annually honored outstanding individuals who exemplify leadership, innovation, and commitment to the affordable housing industry and community. 2022 marked the inaugural induction of SCANPH Hall of Fame awardees.

Background on the SCANPH Hall of Fame:

The new SCANPH Hall of Fame serves to honor retiring (or retired) individuals who are trailblazers in their chosen field and exemplify a celebrated career that has been passionately dedicated to SCANPH’s mission: facilitating development of safe, stable, and affordable homes for all people in Southern California.

The Hall of Fame serves to recognize and celebrate the lifetime achievements of retiring industry veterans, and provide a new way to recognize veterans of the industry and their lasting contributions to the affordable housing community. We are mindful of possible omissions that we may have inadvertently missed during the inaugural year; however, we will strive to ensure no one is omitted in future years and will seek annual member input so that recipients of the Hall of Fame designation are inclusive and comprehensive.
