UGBA Welcomes DVM Housing Partners (DVM)


Boston Ujima Project Inc. is excited to welcome DVM Housing Partners to the Ujima Good Business Alliance  (UGBA). DVM Housing Partners (DVM) is a Boston-based, women-of-color-owned firm focused on creating and preserving income-restricted housing. With 20+ years of expertise, DVM offers real estate development and fair housing marketing services with a community-centered approach. Founded by lifelong Boston resident Dariela Villón-Maga, DVM focuses on multi-family real estate, property management, and resident services, prioritizing people and collaboration to achieve meaningful outcomes. As a certified Women/Minority Business Enterprise (W/MBE), DVM uplifts communities by centering their voices and needs. 


In November 2024, our Community Standards Committee joyously extended an invitation to DVM Housing Partners to join the UGBA, which they graciously accepted. The Community Standards Committee was excited by their outstanding good business practices, including: 


  • Women Workforce: DVM is a certified Women/Minority Business Enterprise (W/MBE). Their company is 100% women/minority-owned and 100% of DVM staff are women of color.

  • Community Power: DVM brings a community-centered approach to every aspect of their work, setting themselves apart from more traditional developers and marketing agents. They succeed by caring about, listening to, and respecting their residents, clients, and staff.

  • Civic Engagement: DVM  leverages their deep community roots by inviting neighbors to shape their projects from the start. 


Join us in welcoming DVM Housing Partners to the UGBA!
