The Women's Affordable Housing Network (WAHN) is an organization committed to the empowerment and development of women who work in affordable housing. Their goal is to create a nationwide network that brings women together from all sectors to carry out its mission. We're excited that employees from two CAHEC entities (Sadie Nott of CAHEC, as well as Maile Miller and Andrea Wolford of CAHEC Properties Corporation) have all played an integral role in the creation of their respective affiliates in North and South Carolina, and currently serve on the leadership teams for each. 

When asked why WAHN was important to them, they each emphasized the importance of having a network where they can grow professionally while supporting each other. "So much of the affordable housing industry, particularly on the finance and development side, is male-dominated," explained Sadie Nott, Acquisitions Manager for CAHEC. "WAHN is important because it provides a connection for women in our industry who might not otherwise be able to see a pathway for themselves."

Celebrating 30 Years

Earlier this month, the CAHEC Properties Corporation (CPC) team had the opportunity to partner with the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to build a raised garden for a member of the community. This was part of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s Gardens for Everyone volunteer program. CPC had a great time and the community member was overjoyed to start their new garden. Way to go, team!

If you'd like to learn more about the Gardens for Everyone program, or other volunteer opportunities available through the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, please visit the volunteer section of their website.
