    “We are thankful for Amyā€™s long-service to Homeport,” said Homeport Board ChairĀ Tom Oā€™Hara in a statement issued today. “Under her leadership, we have grown from 800 to 2,200 apartments and homes.”

    Klaben spoke with Columbus Underground earlier this year for an indepth two part article about the future of affordable housing in our city. She specifically pointed out growing needs for senior housing, and advocated for a regional approach to affordable housing that includes sites in all types of communities, both urban and suburban. Additionally, Klaben spoke with CU last week about Homeport’s role in the new Affordable Housing Alliance.

    Homeport will begin a search process for a new President in early 2016.
