Housing Assistance spent much of its 50th year positioning the organization for the future, and the new year is already bringing exciting changes to our Resource Development team as we welcome Christa Danilowicz as Vice President of Philanthropy. Christa brings a wealth of experience to our team, most recently at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod & Islands, where she dedicated nearly a decade of her career to fundraising efforts.

Christa’s professional expertise includes major gifts, annual fund development, strategic planning, special events, and collaborating with board and fundraising leadership committees. She is deeply passionate about cultivating meaningful relationships and strongly believes in the transformative power of purposeful missions to create a better world.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Christa is an active and committed community volunteer. She serves as a board member for The Philanthropy Partners of Cape Cod and the Islands, has held roles as Co-Chair and committee member for PPCI’s Philanthropy Day on Cape Cod, contributes to the Fundraising Alumni Committee for the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund, and actively participates in the Sandwich PTA.

As Christa joins our team, Anne Van Vleck has shifted from Chief Development Officer to a consulting role. Anne has been a valued member of our team since 2017, and her commitment and contributions have left a lasting impact. As a consultant, Anne will focus on special projects, particularly related to major gifts, continuing to contribute her fundraising expertise in support of our mission. We are grateful for her dedication and look forward to seeing the innovative work she will contribute moving forward.
