Organization expanded and shifted its focus to housing homeless people during his tenure
Rick Gentry, president and CEO of the San Diego Housing Commission for the past 14 years, announced he was stepping down from the organization Tuesday, with his last day expected to be March 31.
In August, City Attorney Mara Elliott announced the city was suing Kidder Mathews Inc., a real estate broker, agent Jim Neil, and Chatham RIMV LLC, the former owner of the Residence Inn on Hotel Circle.The City Council last week created the Select Committee on San Diego Housing Commission Oversight and Reform, chaired by Councilmember Stephen Whitburn.
Referring to what he loosely called “those damn hotels,” Gentry said he could have done a better job of communicating the benefits of the two purchases, which together provided permanent homes for about 400 homeless people. At 73, Gentry has worked in the affordable housing field for 50 years, holding positions in Washington, D.C., North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Chicago before moving to San Diego in 2008.
“It cannot be disputed that he’s the best president the Housing Commission ever had,” he said. “We have a national reputation that’s second to none.”
