Gilbert is the visionary of HOST Development, an affordable housing developer that has helped more than 300 low- and moderate-income renters become homeowners since 1989. Gilbert’s innovative strategies include obtaining low interest loans on land to help keep home costs down; partnering with banks to give low interest mortgages to buyers; and obtaining loans from large local employers in return for providing employees with closing costs, home buying seminars and low interest mortgages. Gilbert, chair and co-founder, is also the brains behind HOST’s new Building Blocks campaign to revitalize inner-city neighborhoods and prevent young families from leaving for the suburbs.
