The SHA Board of Directors is pleased to introduce Jonathan Cook as the affordable housing nonprofit’s next Executive Director.

Jonathan has dedicated his career to advocating for marginalized communities and strengthening the capacity and impact of the social justice organizations he led. As executive director of the Solano Pride Center he tripled annual revenue, launched meaningful supportive programs for clients, and advocated for LGBTQ rights at every level of government. His experiences highlighted the foundational role affordable housing plays in supporting individuals and families trying to achieve stability and neighborhood vitality and safety. This is what brought him to SHA.

We are also excited about Jonathan’s successful track record in growing organizational capacity. The Sacramento region is experiencing a historic affordable housing and homelessness crisis. With new laws and potentially more state funding in the coming year, the time is now for Sacramento to meet the challenge. SHA needs resources to lead this important work, and Jonathan has the experience to ensure SHA can continue and expand our efforts.
