Architectural Design Expert Assumes Leadership as New DCH Board Chair

DCH announces new board chair, Stephanie Behring. Behring has served on the board of DCH for six years and offers vital new perspectives to lead DCH both in building and promoting attainable housing, and in cutting-edge design. Affordable and attainable housing in Texas, and nationally, is one of the most pressing issues we face. The conversation in housing often centers around density and numbers, but design is a critical component of housing that underscores function and performance in meeting the need. Design also engenders a sense of pride of ownership in communities and we are very excited to have a leading architect and designer as our board chair.

With over a decade of experience, Stephanie has refined her skills in diverse roles and projects in Dallas. As the Design Partner and Founder of Re:Studio Architecture, and through her work at esteemed firms like GFF and Humphreys & Partners Architects, Stephanie has demonstrated her proficiency. She is dedicated to making meaningful contributions to her community and abroad, evident through her involvement with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Engineering Missions International. Whether leading a team overseas or serving the board of DCH, Stephanie’s dedication to affordable housing and community development shines through her experience and passion.  

Behring’s credentials include a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University and a Master of Architecture from the University of Oregon. Throughout her career, Stephanie has been driven by a desire to give back to her community and make a positive impact through design from her involvement in organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Engineering Missions International. Whether leading a team overseas or serving on the board of DCH, Stephanie's commitment to affordable housing and community development is evident in her experience and drive. 

Beyond professional accolades, Stephanie is an avid gardener, a lover of culinary delights and experimentation, and a nature enthusiast. With a blend of expertise, creativity, and a passion for sustainable design, DCH is honored to have Behring lead us to redefine the boundaries of architectural innovation in affordable and attainable housing.
