With the demise of redevelopment, where does the affordable housing industry stand today? What is the status of affordable housing projects in development? How will future projects be funded? What are successor agencies and oversight boards and what do they do? What is happening to affordable housing assets such as land controlled by the former RDAs? What is happening in the State Legislature to replace funding for affordable housing? Find out the answers to these and other questions about the future of affordable housing from two of Orange County’s leading affordable housing executives, Sharon Ellis, President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity Orange County, and Laura Archuleta, President, Jamboree Housing Corp.
Sharon Ellis joined Habitat for Humanity Orange County in November 2005. As President and CEO, Sharon is responsible for directing the activities of employees and volunteers as they work to help lower income families build and purchase decent affordable homes in Orange County. Sharon’s prior experience includes more than 20 years in the field of education. Celebrating 24 years of changing lives in Orange County, Habitat for Humanity is headquartered in Santa Ana and is dedicated to ending substandard housing and building strong communities in Orange County. Habitat families and volunteers have built and sold 171 homes in Orange County since 1988. For more information, please visit www.habitatoc.org.
Since 1999, Laura Archuleta has guided Jamboree Housing Corporation as President from a small, Irvine-based nonprofit affordable housing developer with 750 homes into a leading statewide provider of more than 6,700 homes in more than 66 communities. Laura’s commitment to affordable housing spans nearly 25 years. She believes long-term solutions to the housing crisis require aggressive action on the part of the nonprofit, private and public sectors and has brought those groups together to form innovative partnerships. Since coming to the nonprofit builder that was founded in 1990, she has grown Jamboree’s asset portfolio to a market value of nearly $1 billion, directly benefiting some 16,750 Californians.
