Deborah McKetty has been named interim CEO of the Greenville Housing Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n

McKetty will temporarily succeed Bryan Brown, who stepped down from his role at the end of 2025<\/a>. She assumed the leadership role effective Jan. 5, bringing 35 years of leadership experience in community economic development. In her new role, McKetty will work with the Greenville Housing Fund\u2019s board of directors to find a permanent CEO for the organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs interim CEO, my focus is ensuring stability, strengthening partnerships and maintaining <\/span>momentum on GHF\u2019s active project pipeline,\u201d McKetty said. \u201cGreenville has critical housing <\/span>initiatives underway, and my role is to support the organization while positioning it for long-term success under its next permanent leader.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A Greenville native, McKetty has been involved in the local affordable housing effort for more than 20 years. She is credited with spearheading an affordable housing study through United Way of Greenville County in 2005, which led to the creation of a local housing trust fund. The organization, formerly known as the Greenville Housing Fund, later became CommunityWorks Carolina. McKetty also helped to launch the current Greenville Housing Fund in 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeborah doesn\u2019t just understand affordable housing policy \u2013 she\u2019s built the infrastructure that makes it work,\u201d said Jimmy Kimbell, board chair of the Greenville Housing Fund Board. \u201cHer fingerprints are on nearly every major housing initiative in this region. Having her lead us through this transition isn\u2019t just strategic \u2013 it\u2019s transformational.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

McKetty most recently served as president of the South Carolina Community Loan Fund before entering retirement. She also served on the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Community Investment Council, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Self-Help Credit Union Board, SC Community Capital Alliance, SC Association for Community Economic Development, Hollingsworth Funds, United Way of Greenville County, Greenville Chamber Board of Advisors, Greenville County Schools Foundation Board and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McKetty holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Carolina and a master\u2019s degree in urban planning from Texas Southern University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
