VHFA Assistant Director of Homeownership Programs Jacklyn Santerre has been promoted to Director of Homeownership.

“Jacklyn was our first choice to lead VHFA’s Homeownership Department moving forward,” says Executive Director Sarah Carpenter. “As the second-in-command of the department, she’s been an integral part of the decision making process for the Agency’s home loan programs, as well as a primary force for implementing those programs.”

Jacklyn joined the Agency in 1984. She became Assistant Director of Homeownership Programs five years later.
