United Way Perth Huron has welcomed Kathy Vassilakos as the new director of United Housing.
United Housing acts as a non profit developer and operator of affordable rental supply, aiming to take the lead role in helping property owners by fundraising, renovating and operating units so buildings don’t sit unused.
Vassilakos says getting new, affordable housing built is critical to the health of the region.
“As our community continues to see so many people experiencing the effects of the current housing crisis, it’s important we continue building United Housing.” said Ryan Erb, United Way Perth-Huron’s Executive Director.
“I look forward to working with Kathy on new and existing housing projects and securing the $543,000 in funding we need to ensure United Housing, alongside many partners, achieves our community goal of a place to live for every person in Perth-Huron.”
Vassilakos brings in a series of skills to the directors role who served on city council in Stratford.
