""I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported the Housing Authority's mission and the important work we do every day," Matthews said in the press release."
""Buonocore was the previous executive director of Home Forward from 2014 to 2022, and he did a prior stint as interim Housing Bureau director in 2023.""
""City councilors grilled Buonocore, Oliveira, and the city budget office's top staff in an oversight hearing last week, trying to determine why the Council was not informed of millions of dollars in unspent housing funds during a tense budget cycle.""
Ivory Matthews is resigning as CEO of Home Forward effective May 1, following scrutiny over her travel expenses. Home Forward provides housing assistance to over 16,000 households annually. The board chair accepted her resignation, and Matthews expressed gratitude for support and commitment to a smooth transition. Michael Buonocore will serve as interim director while a search for a permanent replacement occurs. This leadership change adds to the Housing Bureau's recent instability, with multiple leadership changes in recent years amid budget oversight issues.
