SALISBURY, MARYLAND – Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services, SNHS, a local non-profit serving community members through partnerships to increase home ownership and cultivate sustainable neighborhoods in Salisbury and surrounding areas, is pleased to announce the addition of two new team members to its staff.

“I love my job because I get to help people realize their dream of becoming a homeowner is achievable,” said Davis. “My role is very rewarding because I have the opportunity to develop trusting relationships with the people I work with, and I have a very supportive team behind me every step of the way.”
Jackie and her husband Wes are currently working towards home ownership together. She enjoys supporting downtown Salisbury initiatives, spending time with her grand-dogs and getting her hands dirty with her plants.
Michelle Neal is a grant and program manager for SNHS. She is responsible for identifying funding sources for existing housing programs, implementing the organization’s strategic plan to develop innovative programs, and developing partnerships to expand SNHS’s reach. Michelle is also a certified HUD housing counselor and previously served on the homeless alliance coalition board.

“I have always had a passion for housing,” said Neal. “The time I dedicated to working for the state and Wicomico County taught me a lot about the need for affordable housing in our region. With my HUD certification I can help people who are facing foreclosure and people who have fallen behind on their first mortgage. When one door closes, another one opens. Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services provides the resources necessary to navigate the system. I love the culture here at SNHS, we all work as a team and really get to think outside the box.”
Michelle earned her undergraduate at Salisbury University in fine arts and her master’s in art education between time studying at SU and University of Maryland Eastern Shore. In her free time, Michelle enjoys painting and spending time with rescue pit mix, Karl and chihuahua, Rocco. She is the proud mother of daughter Emma who was just accepted as a sophomore to University of Tampa for the marine biology honors program.
