Jennifer Sanz joined us for a rum & coke and a lively conversation about affordable housing and her journey through politics and real estate development.
From her early days at the Pentagon to leading Florida Housing Finance Corporations's tax credit program, Jennifer brings a wealth of experience from both public policy and affordable housing development.
Her career began after her dreams of becoming an F-22 fighter pilot were dashed by the Air Force. Instead, she found herself at the heart of U.S. politics, serving as an aide to the Secretary of State during the 2000 election recount—a trial by fire that set the stage for her future work in public service.
Jennifer eventually joined Florida Housing, where she made a lasting impact before being recruited to what she jokingly calls "the dark side"—for-profit real estate development. At Pinnacle Housing, she helped build thousands of affordable housing units, overseeing everything from land acquisition to leasing up new communities.
This episode is packed with stories, insights, and a refreshing take on how policy and profit can intersect to address housing challenges.
