Making Local Recognition Work for Your Agency
Interview the resident and write their story in your newsletter. Some
questions to ask:
- What has been the greatest contributor to your success?
- How has housing assistance helped you and your family?
- What is your next goal?
- What would you say to elected officials who make decisions about
low-income housing?
You may also send a press
release to your local paper (check with the honoree, first, to
see if they mind you sharing his or her story). Look for similar
stories housing or human services and send the release to that reporter.
It always helps if you can offer to arrange an interview or photo
opportunity.
Tips:
- Ask your agency staff often if there is anyone there are people
they work with who stand out in their minds. They would probably
make great nominees.
- Focus on the achievement, not on the struggles this honoree has
had in making the achievement.
- Ask yourself how does this honoree represent why our work is important
in the community?
