He was of the “greatest generation” and has been called “the Pete Seeger of affordable housing.” Langley Keyes, professor emeritus at MIT, states that “Bob Whittlesey is the heart and soul of a movement that has impacted American life for the past half century. The book is an incredible story of engagement from the Battle of the Bulge in World War II to the Housing Partnership Network in the twenty-first century. Whittlesey has fought the good fight for low-income housing needs in one forum after another—most of which he has personally created and caused to flourish. He has been a rock of integrity, commitment, and creativity in providing good housing for all Americans. Filled with personal history and detailed knowledge of the transformation of the affordable housing world, this is the book to read for those concerned with social housing and the power of one individual to shape its destiny.”
Whittlesey holds a degree in engineering from Princeton University and a master’s degree in urban planning from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a Sears Roebuck fellow. He has taught at the University of Massachusetts and the Kennedy School at Harvard University. He has served on numerous nonprofit boards of directors and published widely.weniger sehen
