Harry L. Tomlinson Award
Since 1983, CARH’s Harry L. Tomlinson award has been presented annually to honor meritorious achievements by a public servant working to provide or manage affordable housing. The award commemorates West Virginia’s rural rental housing chief, who received the award posthumously in 1983. Each year, CARH members nominate candidates for this award. CARH’s Awards Committee then selects a recipient from the nominations. The award is presented at a special ceremony each January at CARH’s Mid-Year Meeting.
