WASHINGTON, November 26-- Jane C.W. Vincent, Vice Chair of the Wilmington
(Del.) Revitalization Corporation, will help shape policies for the nation's
oldest housing and community development association in the country. Vincent,
recently elected to a two-year term as Vice President-International, will serve
on the board of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials
(NAHRO).
As NAHRO's Vice President-International, Vincent will preside over the International
Committee, which addresses issues related to the development of affordable housing
and the preservation of safe communities throughout the world.
Vincent is also Senior Vice President for Development at the Delaware Community
Foundation, where she is responsible for all development and marketing of this
$240 million philanthropic community organization that provides a lasting source
of charitable funding to benefit the people of Delaware. Vincent has also worked
for 30 years in the housing and community development industry. She has been
a NAHRO member for more than 25 years.
"As an industry, we strive to learn from other housers across the world,"
said NAHRO President Renée Rooker. "Because of her first-hand knowledge
and experience, Ms. Vincent will be invaluable to these efforts."
The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, established
in 1933, is the nation's oldest professional membership organization that advocates
for affordable housing and strong, viable communities for all Americans, particularly
those with low and moderate incomes. The association represents more than 22,000
housing and community development organizations and officials. NAHRO members
predominantly administer Public Housing, Section 8, Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), and HOME programs. Member agencies provide housing for more than
7.5 million low-income people; bring more than $1.2 billion CDBG and HOME funding
to their communities; and serve more than 152 million individuals.
