Your Monthly (we're on a streak!) News & Updates | |
After renting the same home for 20 years, Rosa Dunlap became a first-time homebuyer. | |
We are beyond thankful for our amazing staff and board, our dedicated donors and funders, our engaged banking and association partners, HHQ's Federal, New York State and city representatives and housing departments and all the local contracting businesses and housing organizations we work with on a daily basis. Most especially, though, we're thankful for the tenacity and courage of our customers, neighborhood residents and first-time homebuyers. It's been tough out there, especially this past year, making homeownership work. Houses are hard to find, home repairs are more expensive than ever and everything seems more difficult to achieve. To everyone who got things started, kept things going or let some things go (or maybe all of the above), thank you! Happy Thanksgiving! | | |

Home HeadQuarters Board of Directors | |

Our board member "Thankful List" grew this year with the addition of new members and officers voted in at HHQ's Annual Meeting last week. Long-time board member and former HHQ homeownership customer, Syeisha Byrd, was voted in as board president stepping into the role vacated by retiring president Calvin Corriders. Syeisha is the director of family engagement for the Early Childhood Alliance of Onondaga County.
Greg May, formerly of Tompkins Financial moved to the vice president role and Chris Terrell, from Bank of America joined the other officers as board secretary. HHQ welcomed new board members: Lateef Johnson-Kinsey, Dr. Aisha Huntley and Cal Corriders. For a full listing of HHQ Board Members, visit our Leadership webpage here.

HHQ is participating in #GivingTuesday next week on November 28. GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that was created in 2012 as a simple idea to encourage people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give. Watch for posts from us next week on the how, when and why to #GivingTuesday.

A Little Thank You Photo? | |
Thanks first to Hilary Donohue of City Link Architecture for taking such a great photo of HHQ's beautiful new homes with all the energy bells and whistles on Syracuse's Westside. Thanks to all our new homeowners on the Westside. Thanks too, to Covenant Housing for helping bridge the homeownership gap for so many new homeowners. And thanks for Syracuse's most showy of seasons! | | | | |
