| Info | Teresa Brice-Heames is co-founder and currently Senior Vice-President of Housing For Mesa, Inc. (HFM), one of the leading non-profit developers of affordable homeownership opportunities in the metropolitan Phoenix area. Since 1990, HFM has specialized in the development of affordable single-family housing through both acquisition/rehab of existing units and construction of new houses on in-fill lots in older neighborhoods in Mesa, AZ.
Teresa’s dedication to community development and affordable housing advocacy began as an attorney for Community Legal Services, where she assisted neighborhood groups apply for Community Development Block Grant funding for grass-roots projects. She has been involved in shaping housing policy at all levels, organizing an ad hoc citizens group to shape the Housing Element of Mesa’s General Plan, then serving on the committee to create Mesa’s first Housing Master Plan. She has served on Arizona’s State Housing Commission, on the Community Development Coalition of Arizona and on national housing advisory boards for the Enterprise Foundation and JP Morgan Chase Bank. She currently serves on the Regional Workforce Housing Task Force for Maricopa County, Arizona. A recognized community activist, Teresa ran for Mayor of Mesa in 2004 to bring attention to a variety of challenges, including increased diversity and inadequate fiscal policies, resulting from rapid development of one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation.
Teresa will use her time at Harvard exploring a multidisciplinary approach to addressing, within the context of urban design and planning, the “Politics of Growth” and its impact on social and cultural identity.
