SMHA is unique in its pursuit of good business strategies with good and caring people strategies. Its staff never loses sight of its mission: providing affordable housing to the community and the services and supports needed to make it work for everyone. I worked with them closely on getting a much needed affordable housing development approved and sited in Davis and, against tremendous odds and misinformed and vocal opponents, SMHA marshaled all necessary resources and obtained approval. Professional, tough-minded, results-oriented and compassionate. These words sum up what SMHA is all about.
