Are safe housing and vibrant communities important to you? Do you dream of preserving and revitalizing neighborhoods attainable and welcoming to all?
If the answer is “yes,” then you should join us at Noon on Thursday, Feb. 25 for a virtual “brown bag” with Sandra Henriquez, Chief Executive Officer of the Detroit Housing Commission and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Obama.
This program, which is sponsored by the University’s Career Services Center and the College of Law’s Center for the Comparative Study of Metropolitan Growth, will feature an interactive 60-minute conversation with Henriquez, a national affordable housing executive and leader, to provide you with:
- a brief introduction to the scope of the current national housing crisis and promising approaches to helping solve it; and
- a concise review of the skills and personal qualities that public and private sector housing organizations value in members of their teams.
This online program will prepare you to seek roles that will allow you to be on the frontlines in tackling the current housing crisis.
As CEO of the Detroit Housing Commission, Sandra Henriquez oversees the DHC’s significant public housing administration and development programs. Prior to taking the helm of Detroit’s public housing programs, Henriquez led a national nonprofit development firm, served as Assistant Secretary of HUD, and for 13 years ran the Boston Housing Authority, where she was responsible for a $280 million budget and 25,000 public and affordable housing units.
