AHIP would like to acknowledge the hard work of Kathryn Kieffer, Development Director, and Nikisha Woody, Client Success Advocate, who have spent the past fourteen months participating in the VCDC Mission Elevation program!
The Mission Elevation Program is designed for nonprofit organizations engaged in housing and community development activities across Virginia to help improve the communities they serve. The program provides participants with the tools, support, and guidance to address their organization's most pressing challenges. Participants collaborate with fellow nonprofit leaders from other organizations and executive coaches to enhance mission impact and organizational performance.
Congratulations to Kathryn and Kisha and the other participants in Mission Elevation Cohort 7 on graduating from the program on June 9, 2026. These graduates join nearly 90 program alumni from 37 organizations including past AHIP participants, Cory Demchak, Executive Director, and Jen Jacobs, former Executive Director. We are excited to continue improving our processes, procedures, and client outcomes so homeowners can remain safely in their homes; older adults can age in place with dignity; and affordable homeownership is preserved in a rapidly changing housing market.
