Maile is a Housing Policy Associate with the Community Power and Policy Partnerships (CP3) team at OBI, supporting projects for advancing community-owned real estate models and equitable affordable housing finance systems.
Before moving to California, Maile worked in Philadelphia facilitating workshops for low income housing tenants and refinancing low income housing units. As a graduate student, Maile supported analysis on tenant participation in subsidized housing development, real estate curriculum for engaging young people, and community-driven investments for limited equity housing development. Maile is thrilled to be working with OBI to imagine (and resource) alternatives to extractive real estate investment and building new relationships to land.
When they're not lost in intellectual curiosity, Maile likes watching futbol, swimming in the ocean, painting with watercolors, and learning how to play drums.
