As Vice President of Development for Community Preservation Partners (CPP), Karen Buckland is a respected influencer and authority in affordable housing recapitalization, rehabilitation and preservation. With more than two decades of real estate experience, she has made a lasting mark on the affordable housing communities she has touched, which encompasses CPP’s entire West Coast portfolio of 9,800 units and more than $2.4 billion in investments.

She has been a pioneer in establishing processes and procedures and building trusting relationships that have led CPP to where it is today - a trusted and well-respected partner known for delivering bigger, bolder and better solutions to close deals and complete rehabilitations.
