A local team recently took home an impressive award for its work on the St. Michael’s Veterans Center of Kansas City. The Veterans Center was awarded the 2016 National Apartment Association “Excellence Award” in the Best Community, Specialty, Affordable category. This national award recognizes the multifamily housing industry’s top communities and celebrates builders, and industry professionals that make unique contributions to the industry.

The project was awarded in large part thanks to its service-centric approach, as it provides targeted and specific resources to veterans with special needs, physical, mental and emotional impairments, or veterans facing imminent risk of being homeless.
