“Housing comes with a lot of complexities and nuances, especially in the Bay Area, which is why HAC’s work is so valuable. What stands out to me is their diverse, sophisticated, and knowledgeable team and members, and their unparalleled advocacy in support of the housing development projects they endorse.”
