Employee Spotlight: Rebecca Dawes
There are many random things that the number 16 represents: the age when you can finally get your driver’s license, the number of ounces in a pound, and the number of pieces each player starts with in a game of chess. For Rebecca Dawes, our Manager, Asset Management, the number 16 represents the number of years she has been part of the CAHEC team.

In her role, Rebecca leads an exceptionally talented and diverse team of asset managers and analysts who monitor the financial and compliance-related conditions of our properties, while also evaluating the potential risk for our investors. “It’s a job that’s equally challenging and rewarding,” explained Rebecca. “We’re fulfilling our mission by creating sustainable communities for so many residents, and we get to work side-by-side with incredible partners to accomplish our goals. It’s truly a win-win.”

As with any major milestone you cross while working for an organization, you witness some remarkable changes along the way. “CAHEC has always been successful at evolving to meet the needs of our partners, residents, and industry. Before the pandemic, we were able to enhance our use of technology to improve both internal and external collaboration, and ultimately, created a more mobile workforce. That was a huge benefit when we transitioned into the remote work environment.” Thinking outside of the box and encouraging her team along the way has always been one of Rebecca’s strongest assets.

Over the years, Rebecca has continuously welcomed new opportunities – and colleagues – with an open heart and open mind. “I started as an Asset Manager in 2006 and am now responsible for leading a team. I couldn’t have done that without the growth opportunities that CAHEC has offered me. I’m blessed to work with amazing people every day and consider them my second family.”

We’re proud to have you as part of the CAHEC team, Rebecca. Congratulations on your 16-year anniversary!

CAHEC Celebrates 30 Years
Fun fact: When we were founded in 1992, CAHEC stood for "North Carolina Affordable Housing Equity Corporation" and we only had a presence in North Carolina. It wasn't until 1997 that we expanded our footprint into South Carolina.

Fast forward to today, CAHEC stands for "Community Affordable Housing Equity Corporation" and we're proud to provide affordable housing options in 12 states across the southeast and mid-Atlantic U.S.!

A lot can change in 30 years!
It's National Fair Housing Month
Every year, National Fair Housing Month is celebrated in April to commemorate the month the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968. Through this law, individuals and families are protected from facing discrimination in the sale, rental, financing, or advertising of housing.
While we celebrate this milestone in April, it's important to implement fair housing best practices through the year. Unfortunately, there are many people throughout the country who continue to face discrimination every day, and it's up to us to ensure we continue to create diverse and inclusive communities. Everyone deserves safe, affordable housing!
