With a strategic plan focused on growth, CASA nearly doubled its size over the past eight years and has more than 300 new apartments in the development pipeline. CASA grew its annual fundraising from less than $40,000 in 2014 to more than 1M annually since 2021. Missy also serves as the staff lead for The Campaign for King’s Ridge, a capital campaign raising more than 23M for the development of a 100-unit permanent, supportive housing community. Missy started her fundraising career more than 20 years ago as a staff member at One80 Place, a homeless shelter, soup kitchen and health clinic in Charleston, SC.
