On October 27th, NCALL gathered partners and friends to celebrate 35 years of affordable housing production and services to Delaware and the Delmarva Peninsula, "One Neighbor at a Time." 150 people gathered at the Dover Sheraton to help honor and celebrate NCALL's achievements of more than 7,000 homeowners, 50 affordable apartment communities, $35 million in community development loans, and over 400 foreclosure saves, all totaling more than $1 billion in total financing leveraged. View NCALL's aniversary booklet to learn more about our accomplishments over the past 35 years.

Eileen Fitzgerald, CEO of NeighborWorks America, was the Keynote speaker and shared with the crowd NCALL's exemplary rating within the NeighborWorks network. She also shared about the many challenges faced by the network and a vision going forward, acknowledging NCALL’s proven ability to adapt, change, and address problems and opportunities head-on.

Anas Ben Addi, Director of the Delaware State Housing Authority, delivered a proclamation from Governor Jack Markell and introduced Eileen for her keynote. As he introduced Eileen, Anas shared that he was one of NCALL's 7,000 homeowners. When buying his first home, NCALL was recommended to him by a co-worker and he and his wife went through NCALL's Homebuyer Education classes. "Aside from buying when the housing market prices were reasonable, that was our best housing decision."

NCALL wishes to thank the sponsors of our 35th Anniversary celebration.
