Armand Magnelli has over 35 years of experience in sustainable construction, affordable housing and community development. Including his 12 year tenure with Enterprise Community Partners, Magnelli has managed production of a city-wide owner-occupied rehab program, and housing development for two community development corporations, including 6 years as an executive director.
Working with nonprofits and city governments, he provides training and technical assistance on community development, affordable housing production, organizational development, volunteer training and management, and healthy, green, resilient and sustainable approaches to all of the above. His work in the Gulf Coast post-Katrina and post-Ike, and in New Jersey and New York post-Sandy, has provided him with invaluable experience in both recovery and resilient design.
Magnelli authored significant portions of NeighborWorks America’s curriculum on addressing vacant and foreclosed housing, and he has developed localized green specifications for housing rehabilitation programs in multiple cities nationwide. He developed a set of toolkit document templates available on the HUD Exchange: a housing rehabilitation standard; a library of housing rehabilitation specifications; an inspection checklist. He also developed the Housing Developer Pro® software application, an automated specification writing, cost estimating and construction management tool.
