Andrew Rodriguez has been executive director of the Nampa Housing Authority in Nampa, Idaho, since April 2003, where he is responsible for overall operations and the development of a city-wide affordable housing project. Previously, he was department director for a state-wide community-based organization headquartered in Caldwell, Idaho, where he directed the operations of a state-wide social service employment and training program designed to enhance the lives of migrant and seasonal farm workers. In early 2006, he was selected as one of Governor Dirk Kempthorne's Brightest Stars. This celebration honors individuals, organizations, small businesses, corporations, and communities of promise from across Idaho, that are quietly making a positive difference in the lives of Idaho’s families and children.
Mr. Rodriguez is a proud veteran of U.S. Marines Corps and attended Boise State University, where he served two terms as the president of MEChA. His passion for affordable housing has resulted in the creation of a partnership among Nampa Housing, the Nampa School District, and the Urban Renewal Agency to eliminate urban blight and create safe, attractive, and affordable housing.
