Jamie Madden grew up in affordable housing and has dedicated his career towards housing for all as a developer, funder, and policy maker.

As a writer, Jamie focuses on demystifying affordable housing and the housing crisis and - on a completely different note - modern adaptations of Irish Mythology.

Prior to working with clients through Madden-Kim Consulting, Jamie directed Enterprise Community Partners’ Pacific Northwest Market office, where he launched the Home & Hope initiative to transform public properties into housing and early learning centers and founded the WA Early Learning Loan Fund to create early learning centers.

Jamie relocated to Seattle in 2016 from Boston, where as a real estate project manager at The Community Builders, Inc. he oversaw a variety of development projects including low-income, middle-income, and market-rate housing; new construction, acquisition and preservation; rental, homeownership, and retail. Two of his developments at TCB were recognized by awards from the Urban Land Institute and Novogradac as the best affordable housing developments of their kind, Charlesview Residences and A.O. Flats. Jamie was also responsible for writing and managing major federal grants for TCB including Choice Neighborhoods, Sustainable Communities, and Neighborhood Stabilization Program.  

Jamie earned his Master of City Planning degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2010 and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Swarthmore College in 2006.
