SERC-NAHRO is pleased to announce the availability of four sponsorships expressly for small agencies to the SERC Fall Workshop in Biloxi, MS on November 8-10, 2026.
To qualify:
- Provide a fully completed application (attached)
- Your agency must be a current paid member of SERC-NAHRO
- Your agency must have no more than 250 combined HCV-assisted, Public Housing, or RAD/multifamily units.
Sponsorships will be awarded over the next two years for the SERC Annual Conference and the Fall Workshop application periods. A maximum of four sponsorships will be awarded during each application period. Sponsorships will cover the cost of conference registration only. Applications will be ranked based on financial need, statement of interest, and completed application using a point system. Applicants who have not received a sponsorship in the past will be given priority.
This is a competitive application process, and all requested information must be submitted to be eligible for the sponsorship. Only one application per agency may be submitted during each sponsorship period. Award winners will be notified within ten business days after the selections have been finalized. The sponsorship program is intended to assist small agencies who may not be able to attend the Conference/Workshop due to budget constraints so that they may take advantage of the excellent professional development, incredible networking, and valuable training opportunities that are available at the event.
For the Fall Workshop application period, applications for sponsorship must be sent to Russell Nast, SATF Chairperson, for review by the full committee by October 1, 2026, at 12:00 pm ET. Applications should be completed and emailed to rnast@tallapoosaha.com with a subject line of "SATF Sponsorship Fall Workshop 2026".
