Davidson Housing Coalition believes that Davidson’s traditional mix of people in all income levels is fundamental to our community and distinguishes US as a town.
Hello,
As 2023 opens, we at Davidson Housing Coalition are humbled by the community’s response to our Holidays for Hope and Housing (HHH) campaign in November and December. Your strong showing in support of affordable housing underscores the commitment we share in Davidson, in Cornelius, in Mooresville, and in Huntersville to ALL of our neighbors. Each year, we are struck by the beauty of each burning candle in the luminaries that line the streets of our neighborhoods and that speak to our shared sense of optimism, civic engagement, and drive toward equity.
We are deeply grateful for the $115,379 in donations you have gifted us to continue our work. As we announced in December, our Board has opted to designate a portion of HHH campaign proceeds to provide a year-long aid program for every resident who lives in DHC rental housing. This program is positioned to offer a financial bridge for our tenants as we all re-emerge and wait for the economy to stabilize post-COVID.
We are also excited to introduce our new Executive Director Connie Wessner. She is a 25-year resident of Davidson, who has served the community in a variety of ways including as an elected official. What’s more she is a DHC Board member emerita, having served our organization for nearly 20 years from 1998 to 2017. Please join us in welcoming her to this new position.
Margaret Martens, Board Chair
Our Mission
I am thrilled to step into to this role at DHC! I am deeply invested in the mission of Davidson Housing Coalition and in the health and vitality of this community and its residents. My priority over the coming months is to build and strengthen our relationships with the people who call DHC properties home and with our neighbors who share our commitment to preserving access to safe, functional, and attractive affordable housing. I will be out and about in the neighborhoods as part of my workweek, introducing myself and listening to your concerns and hopes for this community’s future. My door is an open door. Please don’t hesitate to flag me down on my bike or drop by for a chat. I’m looking forward to working with all of you
