Vickie Craighead-Davis Founder & Executive Director
Vickie Craighead-Davis is a housing retention leader in Charlotte-Mecklenburg committed to ensuring that people who exit homelessness stay housed. With experience across emergency shelter, Homeless Day Service Centers, Rapid Re-Housing, veteran housing programs, and stabilization services, she has supported individuals and families through organizations including Roof Above, ABCCM, Charlotte Family Housing, and veteran-focused housing retention initiatives.
After identifying a persistent system gap—rising housing placements without sufficient retention support—Vickie founded Building Hope Building Commitment (BHBC) to strengthen post-placement stabilization, crisis response, and community-based housing support. Under her leadership, BHBC operates a retention-first model with a 98% housing retention rate, demonstrating that keeping people housed is both more effective and more cost-efficient than responding after housing loss.
Vickie leads BHBC’s place-based and faith-engaged stabilization work in partnership with BDP Impact and Community Solutions, aligning services with by-name data, rapid response, and measurable outcomes—particularly for Veterans and working households at risk of displacement.
BHBC’s impact is powered by more than 40 trained volunteers, activated through faith and community partnerships to respond quickly during crises and prevent homelessness before it occurs.
Vickie’s leadership is grounded in a clear belief:
housing retention is the true measure of success—and the foundation for stability, dignity, and thriving communities.
