Stephen M. Green, the executive vice president and chief investment officer at the NHP Foundation, an affordable housing preservation nonprofit, passed away on March 19 at the age of 70.
Born in Baltimore, Green graduated from Yale University and stayed in New Haven, Connecticut, where he ran his own construction company. He moved to Washington, DC in 2000 to join the administration of Mayor Anthony Williams in 2000 and held several positions culminating in his role as director of capital programs for the District of Columbia Housing Authority. He joined the NHP Foundation in 2014.
“A real estate visionary with more than 35 years of experience in both the public and private sectors, Steve pioneered some of NHPF’s most sophisticated and impactful deals—layering HUD-insured debt, tax credits, tax-exempt bond financing and conventional financing to bring ambitious projects to life,” said Marijane Funess, public relations and marketing manager at NHP Foundation. “He was the engine behind many of our most complex transactions, and his steady leadership, deep industry knowledge, and gift for collaboration left a permanent mark on the communities we serve.”
