It is truly my honor to work with VHCDC. Everyone I have worked with and interacted with, from the President to members of the staff, has been genuine, kind, professional, caring and warm. While this may seem unimportant, there are few things more important when operating an organization that is community centered and community driven. If people don't feel the warmth and like you really care, you can offer the best services in the world but it won't matter. I personally know and have seen the commitment of VHCDC to expanding the opportunities for home ownership to everyone interested in owning a home. VHCDC goes above and beyond to help every client they can and every client that wants it. VHCDC is very active in educating the community and their network of partners with seminars, events, classes and networking opportunities. When you start with education and awareness, the mind becomes receptive to the possibilities. In 2023, there are still too many people who believe home ownership is an unattainable dream instead of a realistic goal. VHCDC works to dispel that belief with education and awareness sprinkled with a heavy helping of "I believe in you". What is probably most impressive to me is the consistent evolution of their programs, policies and procedures. VHCDC is always fine tuning how they do things and thinking outside of the box as to how they can achieve greater results in different ways to further their mission and objectives and to reach more people to help. VHCDC and its partners brainstorm almost like an informal think tank creating new roads leading to the mission and goals. In a society that is constantly changing, a community organization such as VHCDC must continue to change and evolve to stay relevant and meet the needs of the community. VHCDC understands that. To me, that is one of its most outstanding qualities. I hope to have the opportunity to partner with this organization for many years to come.
