“Cooperative Housing is usually the first time a person becomes a homeowner. I hope this program will help those in cooperative housing navigate and understand what it is to be a cooperative member.”
Gregory J. Carlson is the chair of NAHC’s board and emeritus chair of the Registered Cooperative Manager (RCM) program for NAHC. He is also chair of the Registered in Apartment Management (RAM) program for the National Association of Builders and Owners (NABO). He serves as treasurer of the Council of New York Cooperatives and Condominiums and is executive director of the Federation of New York Housing Cooperatives and Condominiums (FNYHC).
“The future is bright for cooperative housing,” said Jeffers. “This unique model of home ownership is critical to creating sustainable, affordable and strong communities at a time when housing has become unattainable due to rising costs. My hope is that our show can highlight the advantages of housing cooperatives and how they can address the housing crisis in the country.”
As senior director of Centennial Mortgage, Hugh Jeffers is responsible for originating new business around the country. Jeffers is also an NAHC board member and chairs the Development and Preservation Committee.
