If you haven’t met her yet, take a minute to visit our blog to get to know our newest team member, Sugey Galvagni. Sue serves as our new Homeowner/Tenant Relations Coordinator, and especially if you’re a CHT resident, you’re going to want to meet her! Sue is your first contact for any help you may need with your CHT home.

If you weren’t able to join us for our Affordable Housing Fireside Chat last week, you will find a recording of the entire event as well as a written summary available on our blog. We’re so grateful to Congressman Price and Jim Parrott for the insights they shared and to our sponsors, The Graduate Hotel and Pinnacle Financial Partners, for making this important conversation possible.

In just two weeks, we’ll celebrate this global day of generosity by collecting donations to replenish our Dowling Home Maintenance Fund. This year alone, the fund covered $15,472.79 in essential home maintenance and repair costs for CHT homeowners! Learn more about the fund and how you can make a Giving Tuesday contribution today.

The Lincoln Institute for Land Use has just released an extensive new policy focus report entitled, “Preserving Affordable Homeownership: Municipal Partnerships with Community Land Trusts.” We were pleased to be invited to contribute to this report, which features the important work of so many community land trusts like ours.
