Housing and Services, Inc. is pleased to announce Jim Dill as Acting Executive Director - May 27, 2008
“It is an honor to lead Housing and Services, Inc.,” says Jim. “In my six years working with HSI, it has been a privilege to serve on the HSI team of Management and Board members to reorganize our supportive housing programs, and enhance the services we provide to the over five hundred residents of The Cecil, The Narragansett, Kenmore Hall, and Scatter Site and also to participate in the development of two supportive housing projects for peer not-for-profit organizations, including the first for young adults aging out of New York City’s foster care programs. “It has also been a pleasure to work with the over eighty employees of HSI. HSI exists to improve the lives of our clients and I am inspired by the professionalism, energy, and dedication on our staff which makes this work possible. “The upcoming year will be an exciting time for HSI. Through the generosity of New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, we will be launching a multi-million dollar capital improvements campaign to our Projects. The improvements will better the quality of life for our tenants and preserve our buildings’ infrastructures into the 21st century. In addition, we will continue to explore new program initiatives to supplement the services we already provide. “I am struck by the wide array of constituencies that it takes to make our projects successful, ranging from our government funders, donors, civic associations and the city’s leaders in real estate development, law and financial institutions who are committed to creating a better New York. In my new role I look forward to meeting with all of our stakeholders, and I am committed to expanding HSI’s constituency base.” Jim joined HSI in 2002 and has most recently served as HSI’s Deputy Executive Director. His career includes over ten years of service as senior management for New York based not-for-profits.
