134	134	Andrew Trueblood
135	135
136	136	Mr. Andrew Trueblood is a housing, economic development, land use,
137	137	and urban policy professional who supports local and state governments,
138	138	nonprofits, and businesses that are building more vibrant and equitable
139	139	futures. He currently works for Trueblood.city, which partners with
140	140	nonprofits, businesses, coalitions, and public sector organizations to
141	141	advance economic vitality, place-based opportunity, housing
142	142	attainability, and community vibrance.
143	143	Between November 2018 and December 2021, Mr. Trueblood served as
144	144	the Director of the DC Office of Planning (OP). During this tenure, he
145	145	prioritized agency efforts around housing and equity. He shepherded the
146	146	update of the Comprehensive Plan with a focus on updates around
147	147	housing, equity, resilience, public facilities and COVID-19 recovery. He led OP in its support of
148	148	Mayor Bowser’s historic housing efforts, including her goal of 36,000 new units by 2025, with
149	149	12,000 affordable units. In 2019, OP released the Housing Equity Report which analyzed the
150	150	history of segregation in the District and presented area-level affordable housing targets with the
151	151	goal of achieving a more equitable distribution of affordable housing. He also championed regional
152	152	coordination, including through his role as Chair of the Planning Directors Technical Committee
153	153	at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, where he helped formulate regional
154	154	housing targets.
155	155	Prior to joining OP, Mr. Trueblood was the Chief of Staff at DC’s Office of the Deputy Mayor for
156	156	Planning and Economic Development (DMPED). Throughout his time at DMPED, he worked to
157	157	support real estate and business development, improve the agency’s data and analysis capacity and
158	158	to create open and accessible data and analysis, especially through the creation of the Economic
159	159	Intelligence program. Before joining the District Government, he helped start up the Consumer
160	160	Financial Protection Bureau and worked at Treasury’s Community Development Financial
161	161	Institutions Fund. Prior to his federal government service, he worked on redevelopment planning
162	162	and finance for the DC Housing Authority.
163	163	A Ward 8 resident, Mr. Trueblood earned his Bachelor of Arts from the School of Public and
164	164	International Affairs from Princeton University and a Master of City Planning from the
165	165	Department of Urban Studies and Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
