Stewardship Team

“At MidPen, our vision for the future is clear: a world where everyone has access to safe, decent, affordable housing – and where they can use the opportunity it provides to advance their well-being and strengthen their communities. It’s a privilege to lead this organization alongside colleagues who inspire me every day. ”

“I am completely inspired by the mission that drives our work and have never felt more satisfied by what I spend my professional energy on. Seeing the lives we transform motivates me each and every day!”

“An admired author once wrote that ‘the home is the wellspring of personhood.’ I whole-heartedly agree and am grateful to be part of an organization that creates the kind of communities where people can become fully who they were meant to be.”

"I'm inspired by MidPen's mission and values, and am thrilled to partner with such a purpose-driven team of professionals.”

"I am happy to be a part of an organization like MidPen, whose intentional focus on preventing homelessness and promoting long-term housing solutions is changing both the Northern California landscape and the way people think about affordable housing."

Tricky rehabs, complicated entitlements, layered lease ups - I am inspired every day by the way my colleagues from across the organization come together to bring joy to our work and find a solution to every development problem for the sake of our residents.

"Safe and stable housing is foundational to all other aspects of wellness and wellbeing. I'm grateful that I get to work with this committed team on such challenging and complex issues that are so critical."

“I am grateful to work for an organization that uses our mission as a touchpoint for the decisions we make. We are not afraid to take on complex or long-term projects if it means we are going to be able to create a community that will help all people live in dignity.”

“Growing up in a poor neighborhood, my parents worked multiple jobs and sacrificed their individual goals and aspirations to ensure my brothers, sisters, and I had a home, access to good health care and education. I am honored to work in an organization that prioritizes housing as a right and not a privilege, and demands for equitable access to opportunities that will empower residents to live their lives to the fullest.”
