A Charlotte native with a heart for community, Dekina has been part of the CFH family since 2015—rising from Resident Advisor to Shelter Director thanks to her big heart, steady leadership, and “residents-first” mindset.
She brings a background in Social Work and Africana Studies, along with years of hands-on shelter experience, to help our families feel safe, supported, and seen.
When she’s off the clock, you’ll find her in the garden, cheering on the Dallas Cowboys , or planning her next family adventure with her husband and their four amazing kids.
Our staff of highly trained social workers and housing coordinators partner with our families to define the path that will ultimately lead them to obtaining and maintaining housing.
