Adams has served as Executive Director of Christopher Homes, Inc. since February 2005, when he was appointed following a nationwide search. Previously he spent over 30 years in the for-profit housing and land development industry and property management field developing a high endprivate community.  

Deacon Dennis was ordained a Permanent Deacon of the Roman Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of New Orleans in 2010.  He and his wife, Ruth, have three grown children and two grandchildren.  

Deacon Dennis approaches the challenges of rebuilding andmanagement of the many housing communities of Christopher Homes with a faith-based, mission driven style of servant leadership.  His goal is to continue the 50 year mission of his agency of providing decent, affordable housing and services to the most vulnerable members of society, the low income elderly.  He feels very strongly that the soul of New Orleans is its senior population, “It is our seniors who bring stability and keep younger generations grounded.”
