In this episode of the WAHNcast 50 Over 50 Women of Influence in Affordable Housing series, hosts Ann Cone and Jennifer Green welcome Flynann Skeen, Executive Director of Rainbow Housing Assistance Corporation. Flyn shares her extraordinary four-decade journey through nearly every facet of the housing industry—from leasing apartments and earning HVAC certifications to leading a national nonprofit serving more than 88,000 residents across 26 states. Along the way, Flyn reflects on the mentors who shaped her career, the importance of staying connected to residents and site teams, and why affordable housing is about far more than buildings. It’s about creating spaces where people can build families, celebrate milestones, overcome challenges, and pursue their dreams. This conversation explores leadership, resilience, resident services, and the responsibility all housing professionals share in creating communities that foster both stability and possibility. Whether you’re a seasoned housing professional or just beginning your journey in the industry, Flyn’s story offers inspiration, wisdom, and a powerful reminder of the human impact behind the work we do every day.","meta_description":"What happens when someone who once needed affordable housing dedicates her career to helping others find stability, opportunity, and hope?
