Juliana Carnes, Board Chair

Ms Carnes has been developing and managing property since 1989, beginning with multi-million dollar retail, hospitality and mixed-use projects in San Francisco. In 1990 Ms. Carnes founded a development cooperative to bring home ownership to six San Francisco women earning below 50% of area median income. The project currently enjoys substantial equity and houses many of the original partners. In 2000, she was recruited to lead the board of directors of nonprofit housing developer Northern California Community Builders as its first President, identifying property suitable for conversion to low-income supportive housing and creating a legal framework for shared-equity retirement communities.

Ms. Carnes is a member of SPUR (San Francisco Planning and Urban Research), NPH, the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, and PPECC (Professionals with Personal Experience in Chronic Care), the leading voice for gerontology service providers.
