Her primary duties involve portfolio development, fund development, and program execution and expansion. Educated at Emma Willard School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Sarah holds a particular passion for those in poverty, especially children. Through her years of work as an interior designer, she learned deeply the power of home on a person, and its ability to shape relationships and daily life. The most rewarding thing about her work is the knowledge that what she does all day, every day, is very tangibly helping to improve the lives of Urban Hope’s clients, as well as the future of the neighborhood, and by extension, our city. Urban Hope envisions a thriving community where everyone can find a home; when we are securing affordable housing that will stay affordable, we are working toward that vision. Her volunteer work through the years has focused on the disabled, the elderly, and the illiterate. She is a founder and leader of the Saints Bible Study, a board member for Needle’s Eye Ministries and VCU Health Hub’s Community Advisory Board, and she is a Governing Elder at Third Church. She loves dogs, gardens, books, and coffee…and of course her beloved family! https://www.urbanhoperva.org/donate daily 0.75 2025-07-30 https://www.urbanhoperva.org/carolyn-loftin daily 0.75 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615b165e0dbc7c72cfb24ddd/859071b5-a57c-489c-b02b-16e7be188326/UrbanHope-April2023-60.jpg Carolyn Loftin Carolyn Loftin is deeply committed to advancing equitable access to housing and financial stability. Her work centers on serving as a community liaison for individuals seeking better opportunities in life, creating practical pathways toward economic independence, and cultivating partnerships that strengthen the broader community. One of Carolyn’s greatest passions is coaching individuals to make financial decisions that are both realistic and transformative. She believes that sound financial management is a cornerstone for breaking cycles of poverty—but that true impact happens only when the information shared is relevant and accessible to each person’s real-life circumstances. Throughout her career, Carolyn has remained devoted to helping others reach their fullest potential—stabilizing finances, building confidence, and fostering a culture of mutual service and growth. She believes in the richness that comes from communities learning with and from one another. Carolyn currently serves as President of the Virginia Association of Housing Counselors (VAHC), a statewide organization dedicated to training and developing housing professionals. She is also a Virginia Housing Alliance (VHA) BLI Cohort alumna and serves on the Board of Directors for Partnership for Housing Affordability (PHA), a nonprofit that leads regional efforts to advance affordable housing policy and development across Central Virginia. Outside of Urban Hope, Carolyn is an avid traveler who loves exploring new places solo or with her family and friends. A proud mother of five, she often brings along her beloved pup, Pierre, for the adventure. https://www.urbanhoperva.org/opportunity-lending daily 0.75 2025-10-21 https://www.urbanhoperva.org/urban-hope-news daily 0.75 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615b165e0dbc7c72cfb24ddd/916087ab-102c-4900-8126-9ba8f7fd8143/%E2%80%A2UH_AR_2024_06.09.2025_COVER.png Urban Hope News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615b165e0dbc7c72cfb24ddd/b084473c-e35c-4b82-a8df-ae4b062d26da/Tameka.jpg Urban Hope News - Make it stand out Check Out Our Latest Story on VPM News!

Growing up, Ginger witnessed the importance of a safe, stable home firsthand and purchased her first home through the low-income home buyers program at 24 years old.

She holds a B.S. in Organizational Leadership and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Her professional background also includes entrepreneurial work supporting nonprofits and businesses across the country through her graphic design business, Inklivity. Earlier in her career, she worked as a mental health professional serving the homeless community in Richmond—an experience that gave her a firsthand view of the wider impacts of displacement and deepened her commitment to stable housing and community restoration. As the Marketing and Events Coordinator at Urban Hope, Sarah helps foster community in the East End of Richmond. Her role is part storyteller, part organizer, and part creative—gathering stories, designing tees, coordinating volunteers, and curating the narrative that connects tenants, donors, and partners to the heart of Urban Hope’s work. She enjoys taking complex ideas and making them clear and compelling. In her free time, Sarah enjoys walks by the river with her boyfriend, Kimble, drawing, reading, and writing. Word on the street is she’s a gingerbread scone connoisseur by fall, strawberry-lemon cake baker by summer.
