Camacho Cruz Administration commend De Guzman's contribution and accomplishments
November 12, 2008
After six years of service, Mr. Ronald S. De Guzman has resigned as Executive Director of the Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority.
De Guzman's vision, leadership and commitment have been instrumental to the accomplishments of GHURA. Through his guidance the Authority utilized more than $10.8 million of federal funds for various projects such as the Northern Police Precinct, Dededo and Barrigada Fire Stations, Dededo Skate Park, Lagu Northern Regional and Southern Regional Youth Resource Centers, Lighthouse Recovery Center in Tiyan Haya, numerous senior centers and renovation expansion of the Northern Community Health Center.
"De Guzman's ability to identify a need in the community and find a way to meet that need is an asset that reflects excellent leadership," said Governor Felix P. Camacho. "We will definitely feel his absence but we wish him well in his new direction and remain grateful for his service to the people of Guam."
De Guzman's tenure reflects numerous accomplishments and a passion for service. Under his management, GHURA has secured millions in federal funds to provide affordable housing and exceed performance measures for grant programs.
His desire to be an advocate for the islands housing needs further motivated him to serve as Chairman of the CMTF Housing Subcommittee, assist Governor Camacho in conveying the islands housing needs during the Federal Regional Council meeting in San Francisco and serve as co-chair of the Guam Homeless Coalition.
