Dear friends and colleagues,
For 50 years HDC MidAtlantic has been working with our neighbors to create real change and meaningful connections by creating, preserving, and strengthening affordable housing communities. We strive to provide our residents with the support, assistance, and amenities that they need to flourish. In this month’s newsletter, we would like to take the opportunity to report on the impact we made in our residents’ lives during 2020, continue celebrating HDC’s 50th anniversary, and highlight our new homeownership program for residents of Larkspur Crossing Townhomes. As we conclude Women’s History Month, I am inspired by the thread running through these stories of strong women dedicated to improving the lives of those around them.
I hope you enjoy reading about new homeowner Dania Figueroa Pacheco who, with HDC’s assistance, bought her townhome this year and captured her piece of the American dream. We view home ownership as a concrete step in transforming generational wealth inequities and a vital action to advancing racial equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Leaving 2020 behind, we are excited to have something to celebrate in 2021—50 years of HDC! While there is still so much to accomplish, we will be celebrating this milestone all year. And, please, make no mistake about it, we could not have gotten this far without our partners. HDC’s 50th year anniversary belongs to us all.
With gratitude,
