David joined RHCDA at the beginning of 2003.  His duties as Deputy Director/Chief Operating Officer involve primary management and oversight of RHCDA's Real Estate Development and Development Consulting activities - including acting as Project Manager for a number of RHCDA-sponsored/assisted real estate developments.

RHCDA is Regional Housing and Community Development Alliance, a nonprofit organization that creates and supports the alliances that make smart, sustainable neighborhood revitalization possible in the St. Louis region.

"Since our first partnership with RHCDA helped us create the Lillian Park development of mixed-income quality housing, crime in that neighborhood has declined by more than 50% and residents feel like they can sit on their front porches again.  It feels like a community.  And even though that partnership was initiated some years ago, RHCDA is still very much engaged in that neighborhood, helping us to serve our residents and keep them involved." 

- Toni Cousins, Executive Director, Riverview-West Florissant Development Corporation
