In honor of Women’s History Month, SCANPH is launching a special series highlighting the incredible women who have shaped—and continue to shape—the affordable housing field. Throughout the month, we will spotlight leaders from across our network whose work has driven innovation, advanced equity, and strengthened communities throughout our region. Some of these women remain active leaders today, while others leave behind lasting legacies that continue to influence our work. Through these stories, we celebrate their leadership, resilience, and contributions to expanding access to safe, stable, and affordable homes.
