The Washington State Housing Finance Commission gave out eight "Friends of Housing" honors this year. The new "friends" are: retired Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle community investment officer Judy Dailey, former Washington Community Reinvestment Association investment officer Susan Duran, Tonkin Hoyne Lokan Architects of Seattle, Spokane Homeownership Resource Center Board President Kay Cram, Diocese of Yakima Housing Services Director Mario Villanueva, the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Yakima Valley, state Rep. Hans Dunshee (D-Snohomish), and state Sen. Joseph Zarelli (R-Ridgefield). Dailey worked to stop bank red-lining on Indian reservations and helped set up bank programs to reinvest in low-income areas. Duran originated $160 million in affordable apartment loans in 11 years at the reinvestment association. Those loans backed construction of 6,500 apartments. Tonkin Hoyne Lokan Architects has long worked with nonprofits, housing authorities and developers to build affordable apartment projects.
