Marta Holt, Property Manager & CLT-Home Ownership – “Marta has worked as a low income housing property manager, homeless housing programs analyst, and homeless and housing advocate since 2010. With a background in long range urban planning, she holds a Masters in Public Administration. ‘I believe that the most healthy and sustainable communities include ensuring integrity for all people in an economically and culturally diverse mix’. Marta lives with her husband Phil in Poulsbo.”
