Greg Putnam has joined Portland Housing Development Corp. as the agency’s new asset manager to oversee its 1,491-unit housing portfolio.
Putnam will manage the performance of the agency’s growing Low-Income Housing Tax Credit portfolio, working to expand affordable housing opportunities, preserve housing stability, improve housing quality and enhance energy efficiency and sustainability.
More than 6,000 people live in the agency’s 19 properties.
Putnam brings more than a decade of property management experience to the position and previously served as a budget analyst with the Nevada Department of Education.
Jay Waterman, director of real estate development for Portland Housing Authority, said that Putnam’s budgeting and other experience gives him a strong foundation for coordinating the many aspects of asset management.
Established in 1983, Portland Housing Development Corp. provides long-term, affordable, fair rental housing and assistance to 3,200 low-income families, seniors and disabled individuals through its federally subsidized housing programs.
