Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity (AAHH) is pleased to welcome Hugh Lipham as Home Repair Manager. In this new position, Lipham will coordinate the day-to-day Construction Services operations of the Home Repair program including: inspection, scope of work, pricing, scheduling, project planning, subcontractor coordination and acceptance.
Lipham comes to Habitat from The Housing Assistance
Corporation in Hendersonville, where he worked as Director of Residential
Development for more than seven years. Having managed affordable single-family
and multi-family housing development activities for that agency, he brings a
wealth of experience in affordable housing. Prior, Hugh served as a field
coordinator of the very highly regarded emergency home repair program at The
Appalachia Service Project. Hugh is also a licensed general contractor in North
Carolina and has spent time in management with a family-owned business.
Asheville Area Habitat was one of the first Habitat
affiliates to introduce Neighborhood Revitalization (Home Repair) as an
extension of its new house construction program in 2009.
This expansion of housing services was part of Asheville
Habitat’s Building a Way Home
campaign to triple the number of families served by 2015. Since 2010, the
affiliate has completed more than 70 home repair projects in Buncombe County,
ranging in scope from repairing walkways and improving accessibility, to
replacing roofs and upgrading heating systems.
Bringing significant knowledge and experience, Lipham is a
welcome addition to AAHH as the affiliate works to expand its home repair
program in the coming years.
