Hey, I’m Evan

When I first started developing affordable housing, I was shocked by how little practical information existed to actually teach people how to do it.

There were articles, conferences, and case studies — but everything felt fragmented, overly technical, and out of reach for people who genuinely wanted to make a difference.

Before launching Holladay Ventures, I spent years working for what became the #1 affordable housing developer in the country — a milestone reached during my time on the team. As one of the top-producing developers, the projects I led played a meaningful role in the company’s growth and national success.

That experience gave me an inside look at how successful affordable housing projects are actually built — and how few people ever get the chance to learn it.
