Juanita Lewis, Executive Director of CVH, Named to Westchester Power 100
With its goal of an equitable New York state, Community Voices Heard and its executive director Juanita Lewis released “Building Westchester’s Future: The Need for Affordable and Equitable Housing” in March. The report found that 51% of the county is rent-burdened and called on the county to allocate $100 million of American Rescue Plan funding for affordable housing. Lewis, who joined the organization in 2009, was named executive director in 2021. She’s also a national trainer with VoteRunLead, which trains women to run for office.
