After conducting a nationwide search, the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the City of Asheville (HACA) is pleased to introduce Ms. Monique L. Pierre as its new President and CEO.

Ms. Pierre has spent over twenty-five years of her career as a housing and community development professional, advocating for and developing safe, decent, affordable, and attainable housing. As a proponent of equitable communities, she began her career working in public housing to provide resident services and apply her urban planning skills to the redevelopment efforts of large public housing sites across the city of Detroit. Her early years in the field were followed by a variety of experiences in the nonprofit and public sectors, where she honed her community engagement, development, and leadership skills.
