Message From The Executive Director
Welcome to our Housing Authority.
My name is Jacqueline Vega, and it is my honor and privilege to serve as Executive Director and to be part of an organization that is more than just a place to call home. We are a community.
Every day, our work is centered around the people we serve. We are committed to providing safe, affordable, and well-maintained housing while treating every resident with dignity, compassion, and respect. I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe in their home, valued in their community, and confident that their voice matters.
As Executive Director, one of my greatest priorities is building an organization that our residents, staff, Board of Commissioners, and community partners can be proud of. That means strengthening the way we operate, investing in our properties, supporting our employees, listening to our residents, and looking for new opportunities to improve the services we provide.
I believe in progress—but I also believe in never losing sight of the people behind the work. Behind every apartment is a person, a family, a story, and a life. That perspective guides the decisions we make and reminds us why our work matters so much.
As we look toward the future, I am excited about what we can accomplish together. There is always more to learn, more to improve, and more possibilities ahead. My commitment is to lead with integrity, accountability, and heart while continuing to build a Housing Authority that is responsive, transparent, and truly connected to its community.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you and for being an important part of our community.
“My goal is to leave the organization stronger than I found it—not simply for today, but for the residents and community we will serve for years to come.”
Best,
Jacqueline Vega
