David Grunwald

David has spent over three decades leading and directing affordable housing development and homeless service organizations. He has created homes for thousands of housing-insecure people, raised over $500 million in project funds, and led the development and construction of 49 homeless-shelter, transitional-housing, affordable-housing, and permanent-supportive-housing projects. He has served as CEO of LA Family Housing, Affordable Living for the Aging, and American Sunrise Communities. David led the novel effort at RMG Housing to develop and build 1,800 units of permanent supportive housing funded exclusively with $190 million in private impact capital from the SDS Supportive Housing Fund. David earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Denver, a Master of Public Policy degree from Duke University, and a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola Law School. David’s extensive experience and passion for addressing homelessness make him well-equipped to lead DignityMoves’ Housing Solutions programs.  His balanced approach—combining cost-effectiveness with long-term community impact—positions him uniquely to navigate the challenges of developing, designing, and constructing housing for unhoused people in a complex urban environment.
