The Novogradac Journal of Tax Credits Development of Distinction Awards recognize participants who strive for excellence in affordable housing.

Awardees are properties financed by low-income housing tax credits or with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding. They are recognized in one of six categories: preservation of existing public housing, preservation of existing affordable housing, family housing, rural community impact, metropolitan community impact and special needs populations.

Nominations for awards are accepted year-round, but nominations received after the posted deadline will be considered for the following year, if they meet the criteria.
