The Joint Housing Solutions Center list

A few weeks ago we noted here that FEMA had offered to release names of all participants in the interagency/public/private Joint Housing Solutions Center, which had apparently become an important idea shop for the federal Hurricane Katrina recovery effort. After a few false starts, I got in touch with Kwong Hui of FEMA's Region II, who sent the list right over. It turns out that, contrary to earlier impressions, the JHSC does include multifamily housing entities -- among them the National Multi Housing Council and the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders. Mr. Hui advises: "It is important to note that not all members are equally active, but all have participated and are part of our information distribution." Also, the list appears to contain a few small errors (I've noted/corrected some of them in [] square brackets below), and when it comes to some of these acronyms, your guess is probably better than mine -- but it's an interesting list and a surprisingly diverse one. List herewith:
