RECENT WORK
As an affordable housing consultant, Janet worked with the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo to steer the Midway Village Redevelopment project to its October 2021 start of construction. Working with a team of project managers from the Housing Authority and the nonprofit affordable housing developer MidPen Housing, Janet helped the project successfully win city entitlements and secure environmental and other approvals. Current residents will be able to relocate directly into their new apartments without the need for off-site relocation. The redevelopment of Midway Village in Daly City will take place over 5 phases, transforming an aging 150-unit affordable housing development and adjacent city park into a new 555-unit mixed-use affordable housing community with a childcare center, new city park, 535 affordable apartment homes, and 20 affordable ownership townhomes.
