It is with great sadness we note the passing of our friend and colleague Stephen Green who contributed so much to NHPF and the affordable housing industry.
Green brought over 35 years of experience in real estate and economic development across the public and private sectors. He worked extensively with public agencies, government officials, and community groups, managing market-rate and affordable housing, commercial, and mixed-use developments.
At NHPF, Green oversaw more than $350 million in acquisitions and underwriting, adding $225 million in assets to NHPF’s portfolio. He also secured $195 million in development funding for NHPF projects.
Previously, as Director of Development for the Executive Office of the Mayor of Washington, DC, Green managed over $2 billion in public investment. He played a key role in the $900 million City Center Development and led negotiations to bring the Washington Nationals baseball team to DC, overseeing site selection, financing, lease negotiation, and land acquisition. He also helped shape Mayor Williams’ commitment to financing over 19,000 units of affordable housing.
Green held executive roles at The Community Builders, William C. Smith, and the DC Housing Authority, where he led the financing of its first self-developed $40 million, 136-unit public housing project. His expertise spanned conventional financing, HUD-insured debt, tax credits, and tax-exempt bonds. Green attended Yale University.
