“CIC is fortunate to have Stacie Young taking the helm of one of the nation’s most important affordable housing lenders,” said David Dykstra, chairman of CIC’s board of directors and vice chairman and chief operating officer for Wintrust Financial Corporation. As covered in Crain’s Chicago, Young is a nationally recognized advocate for affordable multifamily housing, and has led a number of joint policy efforts over the years, including driving property tax relief for affordable rental housing that just passed the Illinois legislature. Growing the Compact’s work and maintaining its role as both a local and national leader in affordable rental housing preservation is of utmost importance to CIC. We will start the search soon for a strong replacement for Young in her role as Director of The Preservation Compact. |
