“When I joined EBALDC in 2016, I was energized by the organization’s thoughtful approach to holistic place-based community development,” said Roth. “Since then, I’ve seen firsthand how the development of affordable housing and mixed-use community assets provide anchors for renewed investment in under-resourced neighborhoods in the East Bay,” she continued.  “I’m excited about the opportunity to lead EBALDC’s talented Real Estate Development team and to implement EBALDC’s Healthy Neighborhoods vision moving forward,” she added.

“Capri’s vision of affordable and safe communities for everyone aligns perfectly with EBALDC’s Healthy Neighborhoods approach to community development,” said CEO Andy Madeira. “Her expertise, leadership skills, and passion will help EBALDC expand our work building affordable housing and bringing our healthy neighborhoods approach to more communities,” he continued.  “Capri’s leadership in housing policy and advocacy in the East Bay will be integral to EBALDC’s and coalition members efforts to ensure policymakers view place-based community development organizations as an essential function of affordable housing development,” he added.

Roth earned her M.B.A. from Lehigh University, where she received a Martindale Fellowship and a B.A. from The New School.
