NASHVILLE—During the National Council of State Housing Agencies’ annual meeting September 27, Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency’s Board of Trustees Chairman Richard Lillard won re-election to his sixth two-year term on the Board of Directors of the National Conference of State Housing Boards.

 

NCSHB exists to provide educational and training opportunities for state Housing Finance Agency board members to help them govern their agencies most effectively. Its members meet in person three times a year and convene bi-monthly via conference call.

 

“Affordable safe housing is certainly a passion for all of the trustees and employees of OHFA,” Lillard said. “We will continue to work toward that goal here in Oklahoma and with our participation on the NCSHB board.”

 

Lillard is a Miami, Oklahoma businessman with more than 35 years of manufacturing ownership and operation experience. He has served as an OHFA trustee since 2001. Lillard has also been director and chairman of the Oklahoma Industrial Finance Authority and the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority. He is a partner with Gallagher Lillard, a multi-integrated company specializing in group benefits.

 

NCSHA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization created by the nation’s state Housing Finance Agencies more than 40 years ago to coordinate and leverage their federal advocacy efforts for affordable housing. The organization represents its members in Washington, D.C. before Congress, the Administration, and the several federal agencies concerned with housing, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Agriculture Department, and the Treasury Department, and with other advocates for affordable housing.

 

As Oklahoma’s largest provider of affordable housing, OHFA offers nine housing programs ranging from “OHFA Advantage” for home ownership to housing development and rental assistance. For more information about OHFA and its programs and services, visit www.ohfa.org.
