A Message from the Executive Director

As the Interim Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the City of Hope, it is with great pride and enthusiasm that I serve the residents, employees, and the entire community. Every day, I am inspired by the incredible resilience and spirit that embodies this community, and I am committed to leading our organization toward a brighter future.

I am honored to work alongside a dedicated team of professionals who are equally passionate about our mission of providing safe and sustainable housing to all residents. Together, we strive to not only meet our residents' needs but also exceed their expectations, ensuring that they have access to homes that are both secure and comfortable.

In addition to serving our residents, I am deeply committed to fostering meaningful community partnerships. By collaborating with local organizations, businesses, and stakeholders, we can work together to revitalize our housing authority and, more importantly, uplift the entire community. By leveraging the resources and support provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we can catalyze positive change and create a vibrant and thriving community.

My ongoing desire is to build bridges and become a vital member of our community's efforts towards progress and transformation. We can achieve remarkable outcomes through open communication, active engagement, and a shared commitment to improving the quality of life.

Together, let us celebrate our accomplishments, address challenges head-on, and embrace the limitless potential within the Housing Authority of the City of Hope. With the collective spirit and determination of our residents, employees, and community partners, I am confident that we can create a future where everyone has access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing and where our entire community can flourish.

Zach Hicks, Interim Executive Director
