We’re very happy to have been selected as the producer for this project with First Community Housing in collaboration with artist Roan Victor for Iamesi Village Apartments.

Iamesi Village is an urban village serving the veterans, chronically homeless and workforce residents of San Jose. This was a project that tested all of Tom’s many talents to structure. He brought together the former redevelopment agency, the Veteran’s Administration, HomeFirst, the Housing Authority of Santa Clara, Cap and Trade funds, and Infill Infrastructure Grant funds.

Tom Iamesi was the Director of Operations & Development at First Community Housing. After a long battle with cancer, Tom passed away in 2020.

Tom was a affordable housing professional who left an indelible mark on friends, family and the affordable housing industry in the Bay Area as reflected in the thousands of low income households his developments served and in the many affordable housing leaders and professionals in this industry he trained.

A special “thank you” to Bianey Martinez with First Community Housing and the lovely folks at Iamesi Village to make this happen. We didn’t have the opportunity to meet Mr. Iamesi but feel honored to have learned about all the great things he did for affordable housing.

Thank you to Marc Wallace and Sean Boyles for helping Roan during the final last days. A shout out to Lan Nguyen for capturing daily moments and final shots along with sidekick Gus during these chilly cold days!

Appreciate your continued support. Blessings and Prosperity.
