    Join us for an in-depth conversation with practitioners from two high-profile public-private redevelopment projects which will deliver over 3,000 units of affordable and market-rate housing in the Boston area: Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment and Clarendon Hill. The model of private developers working with public housing authorities and residents can be complex given the numerous stakeholders involved, yet it is a powerful tool to help solve the housing crunch. Learn how these practitioners have successfully navigated the challenges so elements of this model can be utilized to make an impact on housing affordability going forward.
     
    And don't forget about networking! This panel will be held in the meeting format which will allow attendees to see, and interact, with each other during the program.

    Joe Bamberg is Director of Planning and Development at the Boston Housing Authority, where he oversees strategic planning and real estate development initiatives aimed at preserving BHA’s portfolio of over 10,000 public housing units. Much of Joe’s work for over fifteen years has focused on the transformative redevelopment of physically distressed public housing communities across Boston, including BHA’s HOPE VI and other “mixed-finance” redevelopments. Increasingly BHA is engaged in public-private partnerships to support its entire portfolio, while furthering its core mission to provide healthy and supportive housing to low-income Bostonians. Before coming to BHA, Joe worked for a non-profit community development corporation and, prior to that, a for-profit affordable housing developer. He holds a master’s degree in regional planning from the University of North Carolina and a bachelor’s degree in history and literature from Harvard.
