Affordable Developer Affirmed Housing Names New President 

Affordable housing developer Affirmed Housing, based in San Diego, has appointed Jimmy Silverwood as president, effective June 1. Elevating from his role as EVP, Jimmy succeeds James “Jim” Silverwood, who retains his role as CEO. The transition supports the company’s plans for continued growth and commitment to delivering housing and care to the state’s vulnerable populations. 

“Jimmy’s elevation ensures we maintain focus on forward-looking, people-centric strategies that increase essential housing inventory, keep vulnerable citizens off the streets long term, and secure a brighter future for the state,” said Affirmed Housing CEO Jim Silverwood, who will continue to focus on the company’s big picture objectives.  

As president, Jimmy Silverwood leverages more than a decade of real estate and construction expertise. Since he joined the leadership team, Affirmed Housing has experienced a 60% increase in overall production of homes in California and a 150% increase in total funding secured for projects.
