In the month of August, we hosted a financing Roundtable in which a panel of experts in local and state affordable housing financing discussed the lessons of the extraordinary past year and shared insights about the challenges and opportunities that faced our sector. All due to the changes in state and federal legislation, economic and financial market fluctuations, new programs, and last but not least the reshuffling of old programs.

The panel included:

• Lisa Gutierrez, Sr. VP, Business Development, US Bank

• Kate Ferguson, Director of Multifamily Programs, CalHFA

• Nick Friend, VP, Century Housing

• Jessica Captanis, VP, Originations, WNC

• Moderated by Sean Spear, President & CEO of Community HousingWorks

A huge thank you to our sponsor US Bank for making our roundtable series possible and thank you to our amazing panelists and moderator for making this an informative and refreshing update for all involved in affordable housing development here in San Diego.
