Rev. Joseph Smith, Chairman (Senior Pastor, New Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Lonsdale Union of Churches); long-time champion of community revitalization, especially in low income neighborhoods.
  “Many people dream of owning a home and living in a great neighborhood.  Affordable houses help make those dreams come true.”

Frank Sparkman (Founder/Architect, Sparkman and Associates Architects)

  “I believe that affordable housing is vital to our communities.  The pride that comes with homeownership takes a strong hold not only in the homeowner’s life, but in the lives of their children changing the way generations look at the world and this impacts the communities as a whole.  This is not just helping one person, but igniting hope in the lives of everyone they personally impact.”
