David Maldonado
Homeownership Assistant
I am new to the housing sector after advocating for an equitable transportation system in Minnesota, working in employment counseling, and interpreting and translating. I’m a native Spanish speaker who is a second-generation American, raised on the West Side by parents who emigrated from Chile. I was drawn to NeighborWorks Home Partners because I care about building stronger communities and am eager to help address the generational wealth gap in the Twin Cities and help people navigate homeownership. I live right here in Frogtown with my cat, Cabezón, a neighborhood stray who adopted me as his own. I’m slowly turning almost every square foot of my backyard into food producing space, and divide my spare time between cooking, music, and gaming.
Soy nuevo al sector de la vivienda después de haber trabajado en el área de defensoría del tránsito público, consejería de empleos, y traducción e interpretación. Soy hispanohablante, americano de segunda generación, y criado en el barrio ‘West Side’ de padres que emigraron de Chile. Me atrajo NeighborWorks Home Partners porque me apasiona mucho crear comunidades más fuertes, y estoy muy entusiasmado de poder mejorar las disparidades de riqueza gestacional en las ciudades mellizas, y de ayudar a la gente en ser dueño de casas. Vivo aquí mismo en Frogtown con mi gatito Cabezón, un gato callejero que me adoptó a mí. Poco a poco estoy convirtiendo mi patio entero en una huerta para producir comida, y el resto de mi tiempo libre me lo paso cocinando, tocando y escuchando música, y jugando.
Marie Malrick
Lending Advisor
As a lending advisor my role is to guide homeowners to the right solution for their home improvement needs. I have worked in nonprofit home improvement for nearly two decades after realizing I was passionate about meeting our community’s need for stable and safe housing. I love helping homeowners get the repairs they need – such as a new furnace, fixing a leaking roof, or replacing lead paint-covered windows – and am thrilled to know that with every loan I close I am enriching that family’s life and the long-term value and integrity of their home.
