As President and CEO of INLIVIAN, Fulton is responsible for the strategy and effective operation of one of the most progressive housing authorities in the nation. He has over 20 years’ experience in the affordable housing industry and has extensive experience in developing and executing workforce housing, resident services, and housing operations. He is skilled in developing community partnerships and fostering strong relationships with Boards, staff and residents.
Due to an entrepreneurial nature, Fulton started two 501(c)(3) organizations to garner private dollars for public causes such as funds for post-secondary education and the construction of high-quality affordable housing. He has successfully led development efforts which resulted in the creation of over 1800 mixed-income apartments using a myriad of sources such as HOPE VI funding, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Tax-Exempt Bond Financing.
With a passion for helping people, Fulton believes that INLIVIAN is “more than bricks & sticks” and that able-bodied people should work. During his career, he has developed comprehensive supportive services programs incorporating case management, education and job placement. He believes the key to upward mobility is housing + supportive services + education + employment.
Mr. Meachem serves on a number of boards and committees including the Charlotte Works Board of Directors, Board of Directors of the Moving to Work Collaborative, Childress Klein Center Real Estate Advisory Board and All Income Counts Coalition. He is a member of the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities, National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials and the Public Housing Authorities Directors Association.
Fulton is married to his wife Jeanette Meachem and is the proud father of two sons Brannen and Bryce. He’s a “Baseball Dad” that travels around the country as a relief bus driver while he watches his youngest son Bryce play ball.
