CAHEC Welcomes Housing Finance Expert Joaquin Altoro to Board

CAHEC appoints housing finance expert Joaquin Altoro to Board of Directors. Former USDA Rural Housing Service administrator brings 30+ years experience.

This appointment matters because affordable housing remains one of the most critical challenges facing communities across America. With housing costs continuing to outpace wage growth and millions of families struggling to find safe, stable housing, experienced leadership in housing finance becomes increasingly vital. Joaquin Altoro's extensive background in both federal housing policy and private sector finance brings practical, real-world solutions to CAHEC's mission. His experience managing a $185 billion housing portfolio and strengthening programs for rural and Tribal communities demonstrates his ability to navigate complex housing challenges at scale. As communities grapple with affordability crises, having leaders with this level of expertise guiding community development organizations can directly impact the availability of quality housing options for working families, seniors, and vulnerable populations. This strategic move strengthens CAHEC's capacity to address housing inequities and create more inclusive communities throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
