Orange County Housing Developer Celebrates 20 Years of Achievement
Irvine, CA – June 1, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — In 1990, Jamboree Housing Corporation began in Irvine with just four homes, and one dream: to build quality housing that people could afford. Today more than 16,000 residents in dozens of communities across California call a Jamboree property home.
Jamboree’s 20th Anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate some of the incredible outcomes of its dream. Quality housing that people can afford has the added benefits of generating jobs, promoting healthy living, supporting seniors and those with special needs, and building strong communities. Jamboree calls this the ripple effect.
Laura Archuleta, President of Jamboree Housing Corporation, has successfully forged multiple partnerships across private, government and financial lines to build a business that is prosperous even in this uncertain economy. Under her leadership Jamboree’s portfolio has reached a market value of $1 billion, with nearly a dozen more developments already in the pipeline.
With the hallmark of a year-long commemoration approaching – “Synchronicity: A Celebration of the Ripple Effect” on Thursday, June 10, 2010 – Archuleta would be an excellent interview source for the importance of stable, affordable housing in local communities, and brings a unique perspective as a woman in the construction industry who is leading a thriving nonprofit in a state with one of the highest unemployment rates.
During her eleven years as the company’s top executive, Jamboree has grown from a small, Irvine-based nonprofit housing developer with 1,700 homes into a statewide provider of more than 6,500 affordable homes for families and seniors in 55 communities. Archuleta is articulate, knowledgeable in addressing misperceptions about affordable housing, and informed about current market and development trends.
If you are interested in interviewing Archuleta, please let us know. We would be happy to send you her bio, more information on any of Jamboree’s properties or a list of questions and answers with her in whatever format works best for you.
