Managing Director

ED GORMAN

Ed is the Manager of two funds, both of which focus on providing affordable homeownership opportunities. The NCRC Housing Rehab Fund and the related GROWTH initiative were launched in 2014 and raised $100 million for investment in low- and moderate-income census tracts or for the benefit of low- and moderate-income people and communities of color. To date, the first fund is responsible for investing in 1,200 properties in 20 cities in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Southeast regions of the US. The second fund, The American Homeownership Innovation Fund (AHIF), launched in March 2023 will deepen the ties established in existing communities and extend into new, previously unserved regions where affordable homeownership remains America’s greatest community priority. Prior to joining NCRC in 2010, Ed led two national organizations focused on workforce training and community development and on health, safety, and environmental concerns for construction union members and their employers
