Staff

In May 2024, Ruth Medina joined Project Home Again as Executive Director. Ruth is a skilled professional with extensive experience in nonprofit executive leadership. She has held management roles at Top Notch Scholars and Esperanza Academy in Lawrence, MA, as well as events and operations management positions at Harvard and Tufts Universities. A resident of Methuen, MA, Ruth immigrated to the United States from Guatemala, giving her a deep understanding of the lived experiences of our largely Latinx and immigrant client base.

After a 24 year career at the Bank of New York Mellon, Allison began volunteering at Project Home Again. When the chance to take a bigger role arose, she was excited for the opportunity. Allison looks forward to making a difference in our clients lives and making a positive impact for all involved. 

When an acquaintance who was down on her luck came to Nancy and said her stove was broken and she had no money to fix it or buy a new one, she had an idea. Since that day in 2003, Nancy’s passion for helping others has led PHA to grow from a one woman operation to a staff and a whole lot of volunteers who have served over 20,000 families.
