Over its years of service to communities in and around St. Petersburg, Florida, the St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) has received numerous awards. In December 2012, SPHA accepted the Nan McKay & Associates' Excellence in Housing Award for the "Demonstration Program to House Youth Aging Out of Foster Care." SPHA was the only agency in the country that earned this prestigious award of excellence.
According to representatives of Nan McKay & Associates, “On this occasion, our judges were greatly impressed by SPHA's demonstration program to house youth aging out of foster care. In collaboration with other local assistive agencies, SPHA helps young adults transition from dependency on the foster care system to self-sufficiency, overcoming the numerous obstacles stacked against them.”
Nan McKay & Associates is a leader in assisted housing and has been for more than three decades. The organization serves public housing agencies, such as SPHA, outfitting them with resources such as training, technology, and consultation.
