From 2001 to 2007, Patenaude served as Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development at HUD, where she administered more than $8 billion in housing and community development funds. She also played a significant role in the Department’s efforts to rebuild the Gulf Coast region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita by providing direct oversight of $17 billion in disaster recovery funds. Patenaude also served as HUD’s Assistant Deputy Secretary for Field Policy and Management.
In addition to her public service, Patenaude served as the President of the J. Ronald Terwilliger Foundation for Housing America’s Families, a national nonprofit, education and research organization dedicated to illuminating America’s affordable housing crisis. Before co-founding the Terwilliger Foundation, she was the Director of Housing Policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center, where she successfully led a 21-person commission to present a new direction for national housing policy. Patenaude served as Executive Vice President of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Founding Executive Director of the ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing. Patenaude currently serves on the Board of Habitat for Humanity International, the Bipartisan Policy Center and is also a Trustee of the Homebuilders Institute (HBI). In addition, she serves as a Board Member of the FDIC Advisory Committee on Economic Inclusion.
