Jennifer Adams

Jennifer Adams serves as director of development at HACA. She leads the effort to redevelop and reposition 935 public housing apartment units in nine properties through a variety of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding tools. These HUD programs include the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, Section 18/Demolition-Disposition, and Choice Neighborhoods and are typically paired with low-income housing tax credits with the goal of producing modern, energy-efficient housing for aging public housing portfolios. Prior to her work with HACA, Adams spent seven years with the Housing Authority of New Orleans overseeing the development of eight public housing properties and seven years with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs drafting architectural policy and providing construction oversight for the low-income housing tax credit program. Adams has a bachelor’s degree in building construction from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a master’s degree in architectural history from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
