“We could not be more pleased,” said Andrea Petray, president of the San Diego Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors. “Kwofi brings big ideas and a wealth of experience in designing innovative affordable homeownership strategies, nonprofit organizational development, and in financing of affordable housing, economic development, and community projects.
