  • Utah Treasurer David Damschen Resigns from Office to Succeed Utah Housing Corporation President and CEO Grant Whitaker
    Utah Treasurer David Damschen resigns from office to succeed Utah Housing Corporation President and CEO Grant Whitaker Grant Whitaker retires after 42 years at Utah Housing Corporation. David Damschen to assume role of Utah Housing Corporation president and CEO on May 3. SALT LAKE CITY – April 12, 2021 – Utah State Treasurer David Damschen today announced his resignation as state treasurer effective April 30. The Utah Housing Corporation (UHC) Board of Trustees has selected him to succeed Grant Whitaker as president and CEO of UHC, where he will begin his service on May 3. Whitaker is retiring after 42 years with the organization, including 12 years at its helm. UHC was created as a public corporation by state legislation in 1975 to provide affordable financing of single-family homes and apartments for people of low and moderate income. Receiving no taxpayer appropriated money, the organization provides financing and down payment assistance to homebuyers and resources to developers building or renovating affordable apartment projects. “While Utah Housing’s mission has remained unchanged, the activities surrounding that mission have evolved. We have stretched limited resources and identified new means to serve a population that continues to grow,” Whitaker said. “Immediately after I was selected as the president and CEO, America entered into the Great Recession. My team implemented programs and changes that enabled us to not only weather that storm but to build a stronger and more nimble entity that provides Utahns more diverse types of financial assistance.” Under Whitaker’s leadership, UHC has evolved to meet the challenges of a dynamic Utah housing market by providing diverse financing programs.

The Build Back Better Act is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance the HoUSed campaign’s top priorities and create foundational and lasting change by expanding rental assistance, repairing public housing, and investing in the national Housing Trust Fund. We strongly encourage all members of congress to support the policy priorities articulated below in the Build Back Better Act. We urge congressional leaders to ensure that as the Build Back Better Act advances in Congress, the allocation for housing investments through the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committee remain at the highest level possible and that funding levels for rental assistance, public housing and the Housing Trust Fund receive no less than the amounts included in the bill approved by the House Financial Services Committee on September 14. Any cuts to the overall budget reconciliation package or changes to program levels must not come at the expense of proven solutions for households with the greatest needs. To help address America’s housing and homelessness crisis, the forthcoming economic recovery package must: 1.
