Hattie DorseyHattie Dorsey, based in Atlanta, is a leading advocate for housing issues. As the founder and former president of ANDP, a non-profit corporation organized in 1991 to formulate and implement community development strategies, she insured that housing issues was always on the agenda. Dorsey's passion and "doer" attitude compelled her to confront the blight and urban decay in Atlanta's neighborhoods. She took that concern and turned it into what is now ANDP, an organization that promotes sustainable mixed income communities and on-going revitalization. ANDP works to strengthen Metro Atlanta neighborhoods and community development corporations (CDCs) that work in specific communities through a variety of services and activities. Under her leadership, housing concerns and all of the surrounding issues have become a regional issue. A large part of Dorsey's expertise lies in an innate ability to develop financial resources from all sectors - private, public and philanthropic.
