Travel Assistance 

Travel assistance is now closed. 

Guidelines for travel and lodging assistance are below. Read the full travel policy.

To be eligible, meeting participants must request travel assistance when they complete the meeting registration form. 

• To ensure travel and lodging assistance benefits are available to the maximum number of member organizations, NFPRHA has updated the guidelines for travel assistance. NFPRHA encourages organizations to send multiple staff members to its meetings and conference, however NFPRHA will only provide travel and lodging assistance for a maximum of one person per organization per meeting/conference. This policy change will help ensure that NFRPHA’s limited funds support meeting and conference attendance for as many member organizations as possible.
  
  
• Travel assistance will cover the cost of major transportation (flights, train travel, rental car, or mileage reimbursement) and hotel only.
  
  
• Travel assistance recipients are responsible for working with NFPRHA's travel agent to make their own travel arrangements. Travel that costs more than $500 must be approved by NFPRHA. Travel and lodging assistance recipients no longer need to turn in boarding passes after the meeting.
  
  
• As of 3/21 NFPRHA's block at the Westin Alexandria has mostly sold out. Travel assistance recipients who were unable to book a room in the Westin's block should seek alternate accommodations. NFPRHA will reimburse up to $235 per night for the approved number of nights at alternate hotels. Reimbursement will take place after the conference. The following hotels are within an eight minute walk of the Westin:
• Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle
• Embassy Suites Hotel Alexandria Old Town
• Hilton Alexandria Old Town
• Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town/Duke Street by Marriott
• Hampton Inn Alexandria-Old Town/King St. Metro
• Travel and lodging recipients who fail to attend the meeting/conference, will be responsible for reimbursing NFPRHA for the full cost of plane or train ticket and hotel and rental car reservations, including cancellation fees, no-show penalties, or early check out fees. Travel and lodging recipients will also be responsible for the costs in any reservation changes they request. NFPRHA will not be responsible for cancellation or reissue fees.
