HAND hosted its 23rd Annual Meeting and Housing Expo with more than 1,000 HAND members, peers and friends. For everyone who attended, it was a day of incredible networking opportunities, great discussions around regional housing and community development with the “State of the Metropolitan Region’s Affordable Housing” panel discussion, and of course honoring our 2014 HAND Housing Achievement Award Winners for their impactful work in our industry. Of special note, the day also included a dynamic keynote address from developer Jonathan Rose, which centered on the benefits of creating holistic communities that encompass green affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods with access to public transportation and healthy lifestyle choices.
Thank you to all of our members and partners who made the event a success. We can’t wait to see you next year!!
A Special Thanks to Our Event Sponsors & Partners
Congratulations to our 2014 HAND Housing Achievement Award Winners!
2014 HAND Housing Achievement Awards
One of the favorite highlights of our 2014 Annual Meeting & Housing Expo was the video honoring our award winners. This year’s video featured each award winner and shares their story of “Why They Do This Work.” We invite you to watch this tribute and learn more about their contributions to the communities across the region. Another new addition to this year’s event are our event photos, including the HAND Photo Booth. Along with a collection of images of the luncheon, expo and plenary session, attendees could pose for photos and show their love of affordable housing. This year’s photos show how much fun it can be to participate in collaboration, innovation and transformation together. Along with being able to download a personal copy of the images, feel free to post the photos to your Facebook, Twitter, and other social accounts with just one click.

Jonathan Rose
Jonathan F.P. Rose’s business, public policy and not-for-profit work all focus on creating a more environmentally, socially and economically resilient world. In 1989, Mr. Rose founded Jonathan Rose Companies LLC, a multi-disciplinary real estate development, planning, and investment firm which has successfully completed more than $1.5 billion of work. In 2005, the firm launched the nation’s first green transit oriented acquisition and redevelopment fund, followed by green affordable housing and office transformation funds.
The company’s mission is to repair the fabric of communities. The firm draws on its human capital, financial depth and real estate expertise to create highly integrated solutions to real estate challenges. The firm’s work touches many aspects of community health; working with cities and not-for-profits to build not only housing, but also civic, cultural, educational and infrastructure open space.
A thought leader in the Smart Growth, national infrastructure, green building, and affordable housing movements, Mr. Rose is a frequent speaker and writer. His work has received widespread media attention from CNN to The New York Times and was profiled in e², a PBS series on sustainable development. His book on resilient cities, The Well Tempered City, will be published by Harper Collins in 2015.
The firm’s innovative development, planning,
investment, new construction, conversion and historic preservation work has won awards from a wide range of notable organizations including: the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Green USA, the Urban Land Institute, the American Planning Association and the American Institute of Architects.
Mr. Rose is Vice Chair of Enterprise Community Partners and is a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council. He also serves on the Board of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and is an Honorary Member of the American Institute of Architects. Mr. Rose chaired the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s Blue Ribbon Sustainability Commission, which developed the nation’s first green transit plan, and was a commissioner on Governor Cuomo’s NYS 2100 Commission, tasked with identifying strategies for the long-term resilience of New York State’s infrastructure post-Hurricane Sandy.
Mr. Rose is also a co-founder of the Garrison Institute with his wife, Diana Rose, where he founded the Climate, Mind and Behavior program. Mr. Rose graduated from Yale University in 1974 with a B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy, and received a Masters in Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania in 1980.
