A Lifetime Dedicated to Housing That Works

David Hedison has spent decades turning vision into livable reality for people too often left without reliable options. Throughout his career, he has bridged the gap between large-scale systems and individual lives. All based on his guiding belief that a building is only the beginning—sustaining community is what matters most.

David has spent his entire professional career with the Chelmsford Housing Authority, and that rare continuity has become one of his greatest strengths. It has given him the insight to design housing that works in practice, not just on paper.

Over the years, David has guided developments from early drawings to homes, paying close attention to how each choice affects daily life. He has witnessed where systems held up and where they fall short and need to evolve. Through that long view, he has learned how to build housing that keeps supporting residents not only at move-in, but through the many shifts life brings.

Today at Choice Housing, David works alongside service providers, local governments, and resident leaders to ensure each building functions as a neighborhood, not just a property. His influence is felt not only in rooftops and foundations, but in the comfort, connection, and long-term stability of the people who call those homes their own.
