Enterprise Community Partners<\/a>, one of the nation’s largest affordable housing and community development organizations, announced<\/a> that former cabinet official and national housing leader Shaun Donovan<\/a> will serve as its next chief executive officer and president, effective September 1.<\/p>\n The power of a stable, affordable home has been a constant throughout Donovan’s career — beginning with his work volunteering at a homeless shelter in college and extending through his decades of service at the highest levels of government and public service. From running the country’s largest housing agency to serving eight years as a cabinet official in the Obama administration, Donovan has committed his career to tackling the affordable housing crisis head-on. A passionate advocate for climate resilience and racial equity, Donovan has deep connections to Enterprise and its founders, Jim and Patty Rouse, who viewed housing as a key pathway to ending poverty in America.<\/p>\n “If you want someone who understands the nation’s current state of housing and where we need to go— the history, the challenges we face at the local and state level, the public, private, and philanthropic levers that need to be pulled in order to build a better future — Shaun Donovan is the right leader at the right moment,” said Enterprise Board Chair Rick Lazio<\/b><\/a>. “Shaun is a visionary with the strategic acumen, knowledge, and reach to leverage the platform Enterprise has built over 40 years to create a country where an affordable home is possible for all.”<\/p>\n
