Sharon Sneed

Central Office
Relocation Manager

Sharon Sneed is a seasoned housing professional with over two decades of experience working in various housing and social services roles. Before joining RHA, she worked as a Housing Specialist for UnitedHealthcare, where she supported individuals facing housing instability, including those experiencing homelessness or needing assistance with utilities, home modifications, or food and transportation. Sharon’s work involved coordinating resources and referrals, often working with Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), NC Legal Aid, and other organizations. Her experience with Section 8 housing, as well as working with disabled individuals and low-income families, has been a central theme throughout her career. Sharon’s current role is assisting the Heritage Park Relocation team in providing individual care for those who are relocating.

Originally from Vance County, N.C., Sharon now resides in nearby Granville County. She has spent much of her professional life in housing and community services roles, including positions at a Community Action Agency, where she worked with programs such as Section 8 Housing and Elderly/Disabled housing, the Community Services Block Grant and Family Resource Center. Her broad experience spans multiple sectors, including food and nutrition case management, HR, and housing authority work in Vance, Franklin, and Wake counties.

Outside of work, Sharon enjoys spending time with her family and has a deep passion for helping others, which extends beyond housing into her interest in mortuary science. She is considering pursuing certification as a mortician, driven by her desire to support people during times of grief and loss. Sharon is also an avid fan of murder mystery stories.

Sharon’s travels have also shaped her perspective. She had the unique opportunity to study in Ghana, where she interned with the Ministry of Education and gained insight into their education system. The experience left a lasting impression, particularly about the resilience and hardworking nature of people in Ghana, and it deepened her appreciation for the opportunities available in the United States. She reflects that Americans often take their resources and stability for granted, and she hopes to bring more of that appreciation into her work.

Sharon’s transition from non-profit to for-profit environments has reinforced her belief in putting people first. In the past, she’s observed that in some settings, financial metrics sometimes overshadow the human element, but she remains committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those she serves.
