Bienvenidos to our new CEO, Ernesto Fonseca!
After reviewing dozens of applications and interviewing highly qualified candidates, we are thrilled to announce that Ernesto Fonseca was offered, and has accepted, the position of Chief Executive Officer at Hacienda CDC.  

Born in Mexico, Ernesto has dedicated his life to being a champion for quality affordable housing and the advancement of marginalized communities.  He comes to us most recently serving as the Housing Development Manager at the Housing Authority of Maricopa County, while simultaneously serving as the Executive Director of The Elemental Group, which aims to advance the health and livability of our urban and rural communities through economic development. 

Ernesto has over a decade of professional leadership experience and several post-graduate degrees in housing-related fields.  Most importantly, throughout the interview process, Ernesto demonstrated a strong desire to uplift and empower communities of color.  


The hiring committee was consistently impressed by his vision, energy, and passion. The Hacienda CDC board looks forward to working with him to serve the community by providing affordable housing, homeownership support, entrepreneurship and education opportunities for a thriving Latino community.  
 
Ernesto currently lives in Tempe, Arizona with his wife and two children so this will be a big and exciting change for their family. He will be traveling back and forth until he makes a final and permanent move between the middle and end of May. 

Stay tuned for information about a meet and greet we will host in late April or early May. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out and say hello! He can be reached at efonseca@haciendacdc.org
