Jon White
Chief Real Estate Officer

Jon oversees development projects for Abode Housing Development, taking projects from conception to completed construction to lease up. Jon leads his management team through every aspect of new development and acquisition rehabilitation projects, including finding an appropriate location for a new project, securing the necessary governmental approvals, securing the necessary capital and subsidy funding, managing the construction or renovation work, and working with property management and services to lease the development at the end of construction.

In addition to the construction of supportive housing apartment buildings, Jon's team has been involved in several innovative methods for creating new affordable and supportive housing opportunities — including motel conversion, partnering with Habitat for Humanity to renovate a boarding house for homeless veterans, and using factory-built modular construction for cost-effective supportive housing.    

Jon was a licensed civil engineer for 11 years prior to joining Abode, and holds a Bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Calvin College in Michigan.
