AWARD WHAT: Carl S. Richie II, board member of the Housing Authority of the City of Austin, was recently awarded the Commissioner’s Service Award by the Southwest Regional Council of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. He has served as commissioner of the housing authority since 1997. “Richie is a dedicated commissioner who has provided exceptional leadership,” James Hargrove, president and CEO of HACA, said. “It is through his work with the other commissioners that HACA is viewed not only as a high performing organization but also as leaders within the housing industry.” Richie won the award out of approximately 1,200 other housing authorities in the region, which includes Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. In 2003, Richie received a similar state award when he was named Commissioner of the Year by the Texas chapter of NAHRO. A partner with the law offices of Gardere Wynne Sewell, Richie’s practice is concentrated in Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, which includes legislative representation, administrative law and representation of government entities. Since being appointed as commissioner in 1997, he has been successful in applying his extensive business experience for the betterment of HACA’s operations and to assist the residents living within HACA communities. WHAT ELSE: The Housing Authority of the City of Austin is a public agency whose business is to ensure that safe, quality affordable housing opportunities exist for families of low income; break the poverty cycle by serving as a catalyst for our residents to become economically self-sufficient; create meaningful partnerships to maximize available community resources for our residents; and efficiently and effectively meet federal, state and local mandates.
