The Unity Council CEO Chris Iglesias Joins Influential Panel on Affordable Housing Solutions

March 29, 2024

In an inspiring celebration of collaboration and innovation, The Unity Council’s CEO, Chris Iglesias, had the honor of joining Priscilla Chan, Nicole Taylor, and Fred Blackwell on a distinguished panel to discuss transformative models in philanthropy and affordable housing development. This panel, part of the 5th-anniversary celebration of the Partnership for the Bay’s Future, highlighted bold leadership and innovative strategies addressing one of today’s most pressing challenges: housing.

The discussion underscored how philanthropy, when paired with community-driven solutions, can create significant impact in advancing affordable housing developments. Iglesias shared insights from The Unity Council’s work in the Fruitvale community, emphasizing the importance of partnerships and risk-taking in tackling the housing crisis.

“We are proud to contribute to this important dialogue,” said Iglesias. “Affordable housing isn’t just about buildings; it’s about investing in people and ensuring communities thrive.”

This recognition extends to The Unity Council’s Property Management and Real Estate Development teams, whose tireless work continues to strengthen the affordable housing ecosystem. Their dedication to creating sustainable, equitable housing solutions sets the standard for impactful community development.

Happy 5th Anniversary to the Partnership for the Bay’s Future! Here’s to continued collaboration and bold steps toward addressing housing challenges in the Bay Area and beyond.

Stay tuned for more updates on The Unity Council’s innovative projects and partnerships!
