BOISE – The Idaho Housing and Finance Association has received multiple Idaho Press Club awards for the fourth consecutive year, IHFA officials announced.

IHFA competed in the Public Relations category with other Idaho companies and agencies, winning 2nd place in the Media Kit subcategory for the "Turnberry Dedication;" 2nd place in the Annual Report subcategory for the "1998 IHFA Annual Report;" 3rd place in Script Writing for the "Section 8 Renter Orientation" video; and 3rd place in Special Purpose Publication for the "1998 IHFA Year at a Glance."

"We’re very proud of our Communications Department and the quality work they do," said Gerald Hunter, IHFA president and executive director. "Their expertise allows us to promote the many affordable housing products and services we offer to lower-income Idaho families."
