Harlem Lady Story

Choosing what to do for the rest of my life was not easy, my past had showed me that my efforts needed to be placed on things that make a difference.

Real Estate showed me the way to do such a thing. How I ended up understanding affordable housing, probably had more to do with destiny that choice. After learning what NOT to do in my new career, I wanted to work in the Community of Harlem, yet it took an elderly man's request for assistance in selling his apartment in and HDFC building back in 2007, that took me in the road of educating myself and learning as much as I could to do the job I was hired for.

So here I am in 2012 not only with expertise in the subject but a feeling of becoming an activist on behalf of people affected by what is happening in affordable housing.

Learning from the source was an eye opener, and sitting among the individuals looking to get assistance  made me wonder how little they were given in the process; don't get me wrong, the reality is that not everybody wants to learn or protect themselves, but the structure of the program is not design to encourage questions or involvement. as you continue to read my story, it will be clear how the program designed to help affordable housing started and why we are today in such a state of chaos with no clear path in sight.
