Hello,

As you can see from this page if you’ve visited in the last couple of months, DHC has embarked on a whirlwind of change as we double-down on our efforts to serve the Davidson community. We’ve:

• welcomed a new Executive Director. Connie 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 1998 to 2009. Please join us in welcoming her to this new position.
• reopened the Sloan Street office for regular hours and are working to become a more active presence in our communities as we all shake off the isolation we felt during the height of COVID. Look for property manager Candi and outreach coordinator Maranda, who like Connie, will be out and about renewing old ties and building new ones.
• joined with the Town of Davidson’s Affordable Housing and Equity Board to envision the next chapter in making Davidson a welcoming community to anyone who wants to join us as a new neighbor.

We are a work in progress, and we are so grateful to the Davidson community for supporting the work we do. Thank you for your support, for your trust, and for your partnership!

Margaret Martens, Board Chair

Hello,

I am thrilled to step into 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!

Connie
