Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has named Mary Tingerthal, currently president of Capital Markets Companies for the Housing Partnership Network, to serve a four-year term as commissioner of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
“Mary Tingerthal brings outstanding state and national expertise in housing finance and policies,” Dayton said in a statement.
“Her leadership will propel the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency back into its traditional role as not only our state’s premier public housing finance institution, but also a national leader in helping lower- and middle-class families afford to buy homes and stay in them.”
Tingerthal will replace acting commissioner Patricia Hippe.
In her current position, Tingerthal coordinates the work of the housing partnership fund, which provides acquisition and pre-development financing.
In 2008, she was instrumental in establishing the National Community Stabilization Trust.
