The primary purpose of the VHCDC Board of Advisors is to advise and counsel the organization to gain innovative housing market insights and explore new opportunities in housing counseling, education, and development through thought-provoking and high-quality discussions. Members of the Advisory Board are selected from the communities we serve and will represent a cross-section of those we serve, including low-to-moderate income households, local government, and representatives from housing, mortgage, and real estate industries. VHCDC looks to individuals with experience, expertise, and a passion for driving increased wealth, home ownership, and micro-business growth. We require a minimum investment of about 6 hours each quarter, as we may call upon the Board individually or as a group for unbridled thought, opinions, and insight to regional housing markets and the opportunities and challenges facing our clientele.
