In the 2026 Balancing the Housing Equation webinar, SVP of Housing Dee Dee Beaty and VP of Real Estate Operations David Jefferson examine the importance of integrating health care, social services, and thoughtful design in affordable housing development and operations to support the whole human being.
In discussion with WTOP’s Capital Hill Correspondent, they discussed destigmatizing affordable housing and the growing conversation at a local, state, and federal level around developing and implementing affordable housing solutions across the country. David expands on this, explaining how VOANS aims to be a “beacon of light” in the communities it serves, creating safe and thriving housing options for residents.
“If we don’t get affordable housing right, I do believe we’ll see an increase in the number of individuals or families who are unhoused or underhoused. We’ll see an increase in poverty, and we’ll see an increase in health issues.”
