The Homes Within Reach Awards reflect our efforts to recognize and honor excellence in affordable housing. Selections are submitted by SCANPH members and chosen by an independent and impartial jury of professionals from throughout SCANPH’s regional footprint. SCANPH is grateful for the jurors who take on the role of evaluating so many worthy submissions and our sponsors for their support of this valuable program to honor the great work that our members do throughout the communities we serve.
