EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
It has been a productive and exciting year so far, and we want to take this opportunity to update you on what we’ve been working on and the progress we’ve made.
 Executive Director, Jennifer La Liberte |
Pope Street Workforce Housing
We are nearly fully funded and will be starting construction on the Pope Street workforce housing project, which will consist of 10 rental units with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom homes within walking distance of Main Street, local schools, parks, and services. Stay tuned for an announcement for a September 2024 groundbreaking!
Strategic Planning
Our Board of Directors spent a good part of 2023 preparing a Strategic Framework for OTSH, with a goal to produce “105 by 2035” affordable homes through new construction and preservation. So far, we have 73 complete or in our pipeline. We are up to the challenge, and with continued support from our team, board, strategic partners, donors, and volunteers, we believe we can do it!
Welcome New Team Members!
I’m very happy to welcome Liz Russell, Development Assistant and Katie Corley, Marketing Consultant to the OTSH team. Both live in Napa and bring great professional talent and experience to our evolving organization.
Building Our Volunteer Network
Thank you to our volunteers who stand at the ready to help with a multitude of tasks. Your generosity and commitment have made an incredible impact on our mission to preserve and develop quality affordable housing for living in St Helena. If you would like to volunteer with OTSH, send me an email at jennifer@ourtownsthelena.org.
It all begins at home!
