Making Black History with Tracey, Tia, and Kwofi

This Black History Month we are highlighting the individuals making a difference in affordable housing today. These trailblazers are doing work across San Diego to build and preserve affordable housing, to provide services to residents, to finance, to address policy change and everything in between.

We asked: what legacy do you want to leave behind?

These are their stories…..

I would like to be remembered for performing selfless acts of service by doing what is necessary to ensure that residents who live in affordable housing have access to the same opportunities as those who live in affluent neighborhoods.

That I leave a place better than I found it.
— Tia Boatman Patterson, California Housing Finance Agency
A legacy of leaving a few more places, for a few more people to lay their heads, a few more nights would be good enough.
— Kwofi Reed, San Diego Housing Commission
