MINNEAPOLIS, MN - April 30, 2003 - Affordable housing initiatives at Minneapolis-based Central Community Housing Trust (CCHT) will expand with the addition of housing development vice president, Jerry Boardman. He joins CCHT on May 15.
Mr. Boardman brings more than 30 years experience in community development, housing and redevelopment, planning and zoning, and in multi-family rental housing programs.
