Women's Affordable Housing Network (WAHN)

If you've met our CEO and President, Ashley Prendergast Northcutt, you've been inspired by her, so we're not surprised that she's been recognized in this spotlight by #AffordableHousingFinance, but that doesn't mean we're not insanely proud of her. Ashley, you do everything with passion, grace, brilliance, and drive. There are some unbelievably dynamic leaders on this list, and they are all gifts to affordable housing. You're such a blessing to the Women's Affordable Housing Network, to all who know you, and to everyone in our industry and our community. We're honored to know you. And thank you to Catherine Buell, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, Secretary Marcia Fudge, Dora Leong Gallo, Chrystal Kornegay, Dara Kovel, Marge Novak and Sharon Wilson Geno for inspiring so many in our industry, especially all of us at #WAHN. And thank you to Donna Kimura for highlighting the work of all these phenomenal women, and for showcasing the leadership and talents of so many game changing women in affordable housing.

Our offices will be closed tomorrow so we can celebrate the holiday with our families, so we'd like to wish you all a Happy 4th of July a little early. As we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish, let's also take a moment to reflect on the importance of secure, affordable housing for all. Housing is more than just a roof over our heads; it’s the foundation upon which we build our lives, our families, and our communities. We're grateful for this passionate community dedicated to building a future where everyone has access to affordable housing so they can enjoy their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Have a WAHNderful and safe Independence Day! #4thOfJuly #IndependenceDay #AffordableHousing
