When Janine Lind was four years old, her parents packed up the family and moved from their native Netherlands to Indonesia. What she observed in both countries — and in subsequent moves across continents — shaped her belief that a decent, safe place to live matters regardless of nationality or socioeconomic status.
“I truly believe that housing is a foundation for people to build their lives, that it’s a basic human right, and we need to do better to assure that everyone has an affordable place to live,” said Lind, who is in her eighth month as president of Enterprise Community Development.
