Grey moves to strategic housing for the county

Dianna Grey, who was most recently the city’s homeless strategy officer, will be taking the position of interim executive director for the Strategic Housing Finance Corporation of Travis County. Grey has been working for the group since Jan. 3. “Affordable housing has become the number one issue facing most urban communities in America today, including Austin-Travis County,” Travis County Housing Authority CEO Patrick B. Howard said in a statement to the press. “It is paramount that area housing providers be focused, creative and resourceful to address the issue of housing insecurity adequately. Dianna Grey, in her new role as SHFC Interim Executive Director, will continue to advance the expansion and preservation goals of affordable housing for this community as she has done very effectively for more than 25 years.” The Strategic Housing Finance Corporation is a local government corporation created in 2004 that works to preserve and expand affordable housing in the region.  “I am quite grateful to be entrusted with the role of SHFC’s Interim Executive Director,” Grey said in a statement to the press. “I’m thrilled to be joining SHFC at this dynamic juncture, and I will work hard to position our organization to deliver increased high-quality affordable housing for our neighbors in Travis County.”
