In late July, Paul Purcell, President of Beacon Development Group, had the pleasure of meeting Julian Castro, United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, at the NAHRO (National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials) Summer Conference in Austin, TX. Throughout the year Paul travels to conferences such as this to advocate for stronger national and regional affordable housing resources and policies.
