Cathy Hinko
Executive Director
Long-time affordable housing advocate, Cathy Hinko, first joined MHC's staff in the Fall of 2004 as the Director of the newly formed Nonprofit Housing Alliance. She became MHC's Executive Director in June, 2005.
A graduate of Vanderbilt University law School, Cathy practiced with Legal Services offices in Tennessee and Louisville, focusing on housing law. She left practice to run the Section 8 programs for the city and county in the Housing Authority of Jefferson County and became Executive Director in 1998. With merger, Cathy became Director of Strategic Planning for the new Louisville Metro Housing Authority.
Under Cathy’s aggressive leadership, Section 8 program grew from assisting 3,400 families to assisting over 8,000 families. The hallmark of her tenure was partnering with over 20 service agencies to offer synthesized case management and housing assistance to fragile families. Most notably, the Housing Authority of Jefferson County was first in the nation to have a program using Section 8 to help people buy a home, due to Cathy’s persistence and powers of persuasion. |
