ATLANTA, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PadSplit, the nation's largest coliving marketplace, is announcing the addition of Pam Hughes Patenaude to its advisory board. Patenaude is the former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). She brings four decades of experience in housing, urban development, non-profit, and policy roles to PadSplit's board. She joins entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang on PadSplit's advisory board, which counsels PadSplit leadership on policy matters that further its mission of creating affordable housing for lower-income individuals.
"Affordable housing is an increasingly important national and local issue," said Patenaude. "PadSplit has demonstrated considerable success in lowering housing costs and providing affordable units without taxpayer subsidy. I'm looking forward to working with Atticus and PadSplit leadership to support its important social impact mission."
Patenaude is known for her extensive work in public and private housing sectors.
