Summary of the Del Norte LOV Foundation

The Del Norte LOV Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity nonprofit organization and an independent foundation associated with Del Norte Credit Union. Our mission is to improve lives of youth and families in New Mexico through community support programs, including: scholarships, community grants, sponsorships, financial literacy and community engagement.

The LOV in our name stands for Living Our Vision, in that the employee-driven Del Norte LOV Foundation is committed to advocating for the communities DNCU serves and to promote financial literacy, volunteerism, education, and improving lives for the youth and their families.

DNCU Employees give back through Teen Day Tuesdays, a program where staff generously donate charitable contributions through their payroll deductions. These donations and those from our communities helped provide more than $106,000 in community support, such as $52,000 in sponsorships, $10,000 in scholarships, $10,000 in financial literacy programs, $25,000 in community grant funding, and so much more for our local nonprofit partners in 2021.

We understand that investing our efforts will positively impact the future for us all. We especially want to support the well-being of youth and their families through life-stages, such as early childhood development, educational, vocational, and scholarship opportunities.

Winston-Salem housing officials hold public hearing on city's housing and development plan [Video]

Affordable housing is in great need in the Triad. Winston-Salem city leaders and residents discussed what the city is doing about it, and the challenges that go along with it through a public hearing. Residents brought up issues about homelessness, how to get involved with housing development as well as food insecurity and economic sustainability in Winston-Salem. "There should be some inclusion in there about what the city could do to help, just help people live, have a better quality of life." Josie Douthit said, a Winston-Salem resident and farmer. Residents were given a draft of the city's Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan. It outlined how housing officials plan to address more community services, avenues for small businesses, and affordable housing. "We heard a lot about feeling like there needs to be a bottom-up process so that we're engaging the community," Kevin Cheshire said, Executive Director and General Counsel for the Housing Authority of Winston-Salem. "I think we're been trying to resolve the same problems for a lot of years and people want to know what the plan is and rightfully so." One of the projects to create more affordable housing in the city is the 'Choice Neighborhoods' program.Its funded by a $30 million federal grant.Choice Neighborhoods is a five-phase plan, starting with Brown School Lofts where Brown Elementary once stood on 11th Street and Highland Avenue.And while efforts are being made to build up more units for community members, Cheshire says, they still have a long way to go."Couple weeks ago we opened our Section 8 waiting list and we received 7,000 applications," Cheshire said. "So some of this new housing will ease that, but Choice Neighborhoods is a $30-million grant its a $200 million project and we're only creating 400 units of housing when we need 16,000, so its a drop in a bucket."Choice Neighborhoods Phase 2 and 3 will take place at Cleveland Avenue homes. Housing officials plan to start the demolition process in the next 30 to 60 days and build approximately 300 units for residents.
