Director
Oscar Alvarado has worked in affordable housing development in Southern California since 2005, and in that time, he has managed diverse projects serving families, seniors, veterans, the homeless, and the local workforce. He serves as Century Housing’s Vice President, overseeing the real estate development team with more over 2,000 affordable homes in its pipeline.

In his role, Mr. Alvarado manages the development team’s relationships with key lenders, investors, contractors, and other partners working with Century to identify, finance, and construct affordable and supportive housing. He received a B.A. in Political Economy at the University of California at Berkeley and a Masters of City and Regional Planning from Cornell University.
