An active member of SFCLT since 2006, Tracy brings years of experience and service to the organization. She served on the Board of Directors and leadership team, and was instrumental in securing the organization's initial funding and programming in its early years. 
 
Having worked in the field of affordable housing and community development in the Bay Area since 1992, Tracy brings nearly twenty years of experience with fundraising and nonprofit management, and eight years of working with affordable housing. Tracy comes to SFCLT from the Affordable Housing Program of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, where she worked with nonprofit developers across the western region in developing affordable rental and home ownership opportunities in low-income communities. Prior to the Bank, Tracy worked with the Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA) as a bilingual home ownership counselor, and directly helped lower income households with buying their first home as their real estate agent. She’s also worked with other highly collaborative nonprofits on issues of social justice including the Bay Area School Reform Collaborative and Religious Witness with Homeless People. Tracy has a master’s degree in public administration and gained her first years of experience working with grass-roots community leaders in developing countries, including India and Nicaragua. With the successful conversion of the Columbus United Cooperative project, she looks forward to continuing to build the organization's capacity to expand the model across San Francisco, creating more cooperative ownership opportunities for low-income families that otherwise could not achieve the dream of home ownership in this high cost city.

Annette brings over twenty years experience working with an affordable housing cooperative, Diamond View, in Diamond Heights of San Francisco. Having lived in the SF Bay Area for over forty years, Annette has a deep commitment to this city. She recently retired from a twenty year career in education and is excited to work for more affordable housing cooperatives in San Francisco. She has been a leader in her cooperative, Diamond View, for over twenty years and will bring her wisdom and experience to her work with the Board and residents at Midtown Park. Annette commented, "My experience with co-ops began with the conversion of 58 units in the Diamond Heights area of San Francisco.   This was a unique experience for me and the residents, and some 20 years later we are doing well and have gained a wonderful reputation within the city as being an outstanding co-op. I look forward to working with the San Francisco Community Land Trust and helping to make history once again with the Midtown Park conversion." We are excited to be working with Annette and the residents at Midtown Park!
