James Acevedo is the founder, former President and currently serving as Advisory Board Member of an economic development not-for-profit organization established in 1993.

 

The not-for-profit owns and manages over 260 multifamily affordable and senior housing units in the lower income areas of the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County. Some of these apartment projects were ground up development and new construction that included site selection, acquisition, financing, entitlements and oversight of design and construction by Mr. Acevedo. Many of the apartment complexes were structurally impaired from earthquake damage. James Acevedo was instrumental in securing the grants to fund the structural repairs, seismic enhancements and major renovations to these damaged buildings.
