Speaker Bio
Jason is a proud, generational Detroiter who currently leads CHN Housing Partners’ growth in Detroit - a role that involves expanding strategic partnerships and launching the Detroit Housing Network. Prior to joining CHN, Jason was the Director of State and Local Government Affairs for Quicken Loans where he led community engagement, advocated for policy change and oversaw the $3.3 million renovation of Breithaupt Career & Tech Center.

While Jason's most recent roles have positioned him as a leader in Detroit’s development and affordable housing communities, he always represents his Detroit-based upbringing. After graduating from Rennaissance High School and Wayne State University, Jason began his career as a property manager where he oversaw diverse property portfolios for Bedrock Detroit, Independent Management Services and Southwest Housing Solutions. Jason also made news in 2021 when he announced his development project in the Bagley/Fitzgerald neighborhood, where he will be co-developing Detroit’s first Black-owned brewery.

His collective experience has led to board member invitations for the Citizens Research Council of Michigan (active), Building Community Value (active) and the Detroit Housing Commission (2014 – 2021).
