Longtime affordable housing industry leader Amy Anthony has died, reported Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), the Boston-based nonprofit organization that she co-founded and led for many years.
Anthony took on some of the nation's toughest deals as a developer and introduced cutting-edge policies as Massachusetts' housing secretary.
From 1983 to 1990, she served as secretary of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Communities and Development, a $600 million cabinet-level state agency devoted to producing affordable housing and promoting municipal, community, and economic development.
In 2011, Anthony was inducted into the Affordable Housing Finance magazine Affordable Housing Hall of Fame. Last year, she received the 2017 Cushing Niles Dolbeare Lifetime Service Award from the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
