Why Housing Matters to Me

Written By Katie Goar

Growing up, I moved from one bad rental to another, often in short spurts and on the wrong side of the tracks. So, when Affordable Housing News recognized me as one of their Power Women, I realized this is much more than a professional honor. It’s personal.

This article captures my role, Quadel’s growth, and the success of today.

But it’s also about something much deeper:
💪 Turning personal trials into professional triumphs.

💪 Proving that a zip code does not have to define one's ultimate path.

💪 Understanding that grit comes from fire and using that fire can fuel others.

This is why my work at Quadel is significant—not just for me, but for others as well. I will gladly take the Women of Power microphone because there is something much stronger at play.

Yes, thank you for the honor and recognition but when a houser understands her why … watch out!
