Scope of work: Jan van der Woerd is Vice President of Real Estate Development and Management at ICCF, where he oversees teams in the areas of development, construction, property management and maintenance that are responsible for creating and sustaining affordable housing.
Biggest professional win: His most significant accomplishment is working with team members to create a new pathway for affordable homeownership called Community Homes Land Trust. ICCF launched the program from concept to successful implementation. It is the first of its kind in Grand Rapids. “We built a new rung in the homeownership ladder, just as the GR housing market was becoming shockingly unattainable.”
