On December 5, 2021, the Cleveland Branch of the NAACP recognized Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority CEO Jeffery K. Patterson with the 2021 Unsung Hero Award at the NAACP’s 109th Anniversary Freedom Fund Dinner: “Advancing Equity Forward.” This award recognizes community leaders who have influenced a program or organization with a positive attitude, a willingness to help in whatever capacity necessary, and a commitment to excellence.
As vice president of CLPHA’s board of directors, Jeffery has embodied these traits, including in his leadership of the board’s burgeoning Racial Equity Committee. CLPHA congratulates Jeffery on this prestigious, well-deserved award!
