Welcoming Our New Senior Director of Development & Communications

Meet Ian Nevarez, our Senior Director of Development & Communications!

Ian brings nearly 20 years of experience in affordable housing and the nonprofit sector, leading fundraising, communications, grant strategy, and community engagement efforts that help organizations expand their impact.

His passion for this work began with the understanding that growing up in a stable home was a privilege, and that access to safe, affordable housing is essential to helping individuals and families thrive. That belief has guided his career and continues to shape his commitment to building stronger, more equitable communities.

Today, Ian leads Venice Community Housing’s development and communications efforts, helping connect supporters, partners, and community members to our mission while building the resources needed to create more affordable homes and provide services that help residents thrive.

We’re grateful to have Ian on the team and excited for all that’s ahead. Welcome, Ian!
