History of the National Housing Center Awards

The National Housing Center Awards include the National Housing Hall of Fame and the Exemplary Service to Home Building awards.

NAHB established the National Housing Hall of Fame in 1976 to recognize those individuals whose spirit, ingenuity and determination have changed the face of housing for the better, making America one of the best-housed nations in the world. Being named to the National Housing Hall of Fame is the highest individual honor bestowed by the housing industry.

The first National Housing Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held in May 1977. Since then, more than 200 individuals have been elected.

In 2014, the National Housing Center Board of Governors established the Exemplary Service to Home Building awards to honor individuals for specific industry achievements.

The National Housing Hall of Fame induction ceremony and the Exemplary Service in Home Building recognition will be held every three years during the Spring Leadership Meetings.
