Gayle Rodgers

From its earliest days in 1975, SWAP has been fortunate to have dedicated and engaged supporters with deep roots in the community. Today our Board of Directors includes community residents, business owners, and professionals who are familiar with and support affordable housing.  Some board members have been with us for decades; others have joined within the last 2 years.

Gayle Rodgers is one of our recent additions. She was introduced to SWAP by our longest standing board member Nancy Whit - (who has been with us since 1975).

” I came to volunteer as a Board Member through my church-mate Nancy Whit,” Gayle says.  “I’ve already learned a lot about the art of deal making for affordable housing. I am honored to be thought of in this instance.”

Today SWAP continues to transform neighborhoods. Through historic restoration and new construction, SWAP creates affordable rental apartments and homes for sale. SWAP's current focus is on the development of mixed-use residential and commercial spaces and creating newly vibrant commercial corridors.

“It is a real pleasure seeing neighborhoods grow,” Gayle says.
