<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2003</strong><br />
SONYA DOESN’T JUST WORK FOR <strong>PHFA</strong>.<br />
FIVE YEARS AGO, <strong>PHFA</strong> WORKED FOR HER.<br />
Sonya Burhannan: married and the mother of three, she knows how <strong>PHFA</strong> programs succeed. Her<br />
own home was purchased through a program that featured a below-market interest rate loan. In a way,<br />
this makes her ordinary. Just like any of us. Yet, Sonya Burhannan is extraordinary in so many ways.<br />
She is more than a nine-to-five <strong>Agency</strong> employee. Every day when she comes to work, Sonya brings a<br />
contribution to the <strong>Agency</strong> which, at first glance, goes unseen. When she arrives at the office, Sonya<br />
brings the woman who believes her children come first. She brings the woman who spends evenings<br />
editing a youth newsletter and who chaperones grade school field trips. Sitting in her office is not just<br />
a <strong>PHFA</strong> employee but a Sunday school teacher and vice-president of the church choir.<br />
As a mother, a wife, and a sister, Sonya Burhannan is an ordinary woman. If you’re lucky, she’s your<br />
neighbor. And she is a part of <strong>PHFA</strong>.<br />
Sonya Burhannan, REO Coordinator<br />
<strong>PHFA</strong> staff members work with private companies to ensure that the <strong>Agency</strong>’s REO portfolio is effectively managed.<br />
As coordinator for the <strong>Agency</strong>’s REO (real estate owned) operation, Sonya makes sure that all of the proper procedures<br />
for the disposition of <strong>PHFA</strong>-owned single-family properties are followed. She settles accounts in order to turn those<br />
homes into new opportunities for other Commonwealth families.
