On May 13, 2026, at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Housing Leadership Council of Palm Beach County recognized this year’s Housing Heroes during its annual luncheon celebration.
We proudly congratulate our own Terri Murray, recipient of the 2026 Non-Profit Developer Award, recognizing Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc. as a qualified nonprofit 501(c)(3) and certified CHODO developer that has consistently led the way in creating and supporting workforce affordable housing. The award honors organizations with a proven track record of navigating challenging development conditions while maintaining a mission-driven focus through housing programs, educational initiatives, and innovative solutions that create lasting community impact.
During her acceptance speech, Terri shared:
“At the heart of our work is the belief that housing is more than shelter. It’s the foundation for opportunity. When families have a stable home, they can save, plan, and dream.”
We also extend our sincere thanks to Suzanne Cabrera President & CEO, the HLC Board of Directors, and the Housing Leadership Council staff for hosting such an inspiring and meaningful event.
Additional honorees included:
Annetta Jenkins, recognized as the 2026 Housing Hero
Bobby “Tony” Smith, inducted into the Housing Hall of Fame for his dedication to the Belle Glade community,
