A quality home is the foundation of society & community
Commissioner Karen Hoffman has resided in Rockford, Illinois since 1957. She graduated from East High School in 1965. She then attended Rock Valley College where she earned two degrees, an A.A.S in Human Services and the second an A.S degree with an emphasis on business. During her working career, she pursued a Bachelor Degree at Western University through the Regional Academic Center in Rockford. In 2005, she was elected to the Winnebago County Board where she served until 2010.In January 2008, after two tragic floods in her neighborhood, Mrs. Hoffman co-founded the Rolling Green Association. The Association was instrumental in getting the City of Rockford to implement a flood mitigation plan within six months.
In July of 2014, Mrs. Hoffman was appointed to serve on a committee named CLI (Community Leadership Institute). The CLI group has focused on establishing good neighborly relationships and developed a program and video. The video is currently being shown in various community meetings. Mrs. Hoffman also serves on the Rockford Neighborhood Network Board. “Although I am now retired from State employment, it is my belief that since the people of my community invested, over the years in training me and preparing me to serve, I have an obligation to use the knowledge and resources that I have received for the betterment of the area in which I live.”
“Commissioner Hoffman has been with us the shortest amount of time but has been with us for some of the most contested times. I do appreciate that she plays the devil’s advocate, she says prove it to me. Thank you for two years of service!
Her desire and willingness fuel our efforts and lead us to success. Our sincerest thanks for the contribution you have made to RHA.
To continue to create strategic partnerships with community stakeholders, design a diverse housing portfolio, leverage social service programming to unite and ensure residents are provided with safe and nurturing environments that lead to self-sufficiency, responsibility, and individual empowerment.
