Director, Resident Services

“At the Valdosta Housing Authority, we offer a program exclusively for our residents—one that goes far beyond housing. We are committed to building community, developing potential, and serving with purpose.

Every day, we bring our whole selves to the table—leading with clarity, strategy, and respect. We proudly call ourselves the heartbeat of the organization, because without the people we serve, there would be no pulse to this mission.

We serve for you. We work for you. We appreciate you.

We are EMPOWERVHA—THE HEARTBEAT OF HOUSING.”
