Our History

In 2011, Maureen Krueger became the affiliate's first executive director. Three years later, Terry Laney was hired. In 2019, Kris J. Fountain was welcomed as the next executive director. To promote recovery and move our affiliate from Covid 19, we brought Kris Vanderpool on board as executive director in 2022. Along with our board and committed volunteers, we continue to provide affordable housing solutions in partnership with the community and families in Lincoln County.
