Darlene Piszczek
Director of Property Management
Darlene brings nearly 25 years of experience in the affordable housing industry and her last 10 years has been focused on supportive housing properties. She oversees day-to-day operations, provides guidance for new properties as they come online, and works closely with the Regional Managers to ensure on-site staff are adequately trained to their unique properties. Darlene is responsible for adequately designing and maintaining budgets for each property. Darlene’s philosophy is to hire good people who understand the population they are serving: you can teach people compliance, you can’t teach them compassion.
