Title: former Executive Director and CEO, Housing Authority of the City of Asheville (deputy director from 2006; CEO 2019 to June 30, 2023; succeeded by Monique Pierre, then interim Rhodney Norman, then Ella Santos)
Surveillance record
When council voted 4 to 1 in January 2023 to buy APD access to the county’s Fusus network, Nash spoke in favor, arguing HACA properties were, if anything, “underpoliced” (Mountain Xpress · Watching the Poor). Roughly 500 cameras in housing communities and businesses feed the network; no property list or resident-notice process was published under his tenure or since. HACA’s June 2026 executive report records its new partnerships director having “connected with David Nash” in an informal capacity (HACA); he holds no role at the authority.
