We caught up with Richard to reminisce and reflect on Partners in Housing's beginnings and you can listen to his thoughts in the video below!
"From a lot of 1993, 1994, our effort was in expanding our agency so that we could serve more folks, but we wanted to own everything. We wanted the community to know that we were there for the long haul, not the short run. And the way to that I felt was to show that we were investing in the community on a full-time, long-range basis."
"It made the community better because we had successful families that went through some very challenging times, but wound up being extremely productive members of the community...one of the great thrills I had was when one of our family graduates actually became my boss at one time. She became President of the Board of Directors and was originally a Partner family at Partners in Housing."
