We’re proud to join communities all across America celebrating #LightsOnAfterschool today! 💡 We're shining a light on afterschool programs to highlight the youth living in our #affordablehousing communities who rely on these programs to stay safe, learn, and grow. We realize there are barriers that affect the equity and availability of these programs to all and we believe every child should have access. #AfterschoolWorks #KeeptheLightsOn #LightbulbChallenge Afterschool Alliance

A huge thank you to Enterprise Community Partners for the opportunity to participate in the Climate Resilience Academy! We just kicked off the eight-week cohort-style session this month with an in-person meeting in Washington, D.C. This program will continue with virtual sessions, equipping us with effective and affordable strategies to make our properties more resilient to environmental risks. As we face the impacts of our changing climate, these insights are essential for protecting our communities. We’re excited to collaborate with peers, experts, and local stakeholders as we work toward a more resilient future. #ClimateResilience #AffordableHousing

Shelley Murphy, a Wesley Housing #LeadershipLegend, dedicated 15 years to Wesley Housing’s mission of #buildingup lives and communities. Under Shelley’s leadership, we experienced tremendous growth, expanding from 40 to over 100 employees, increasing our affordable housing units by 60%, and extending our reach into new territories like Washington, DC and Winchester, Virginia. Shelley forged innovative partnerships across industries, navigated unprecedented challenges, and helped us reach a record number of residents. Her efforts have transformed the lives of countless families, and her impact continues to be felt across the region. Her extraordinary leadership has been recognized by the industry and peers alike. Most recently, Shelley was named Game Changer of the Year by Virginia Housing Alliance in 2022, and Wesley Housing was named Nonprofit Developer of the Year by HAND for the third time (previously in 2017 and 2006) that same year. Her passion and unwavering dedication continue to inspire us as we carry her legacy forward. #WesleyHousing50 #AffordableHousing #Leadership #CommunityImpact
