Quotes:
"Tenants in low-income communities have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic, so I am very pleased that David Mole will bring the perspective of vulnerable populations to the Board. And with our wait list growing every
day, Drew Toth's expertise will help us we continue with plans to increase the much needed affordable housing stock in Niagara. The Board will miss the vast experience of the departing members, but look forward to welcoming David
and Drew's fresh perspectives during this incredibly challenging time."
- Donna Woiceshyn, NRH CEO
"As Board Chair, I am looking forward to working with our new and returning board members, as we continue our efforts to address the desperate need for affordable housing in Niagara. With the diverse backgrounds and breadth of knowledge
of our board members, and NRH's expertise and experience, I am confident we can continue to accelerate efforts to build more housing opportunities for Niagara residents."
