Our Staff

Board Chair and Executive Director

Lee Anne studied Psychology at the University of South Carolina and has several years of experience as a project manager. She also has experience on staff at Grace Church both as a Children’s Ministry Director and as Director of Care & Recovery. Seeing Front Porch Housing grow out of the need of one member at Grace Church into a full-fledged supportive community has been one of her greatest joys.

People were patient with me when I was fearful of trusting others and continued to support me even when I didn’t fully understand why. I get the chance to turn and support now. What a privilege to care for others with the same care given to me.
