Essentially, the California Housing Partnership Corporation ( http://tinyurl.com/jrpeq8e ) is an organization that lobbies on behalf of the so-called affordable housing industry in California.

According to the last tax filing during 2013, for the nonprofit California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC), their gross receipts were $3,276,811. During 2013, Matthew C. Schwartz of CHPC was paid $182,043 plus $34,00 in other compensation. Richard Mandel was paid $161,657 plus $17,862 in other compensation. Laura Kobler was paid $161,541 plus $28,958 in other compensation. Gregory Chin was paid $122,565 plus $21,721 in other compensation. Paul Beesemeyer was paid $153,144 plus $12,328 in other compensation. and Diep Do was paid $116,938 plus $12,810 in other compensation.

Nagraj was also an associate at Farella, Braun and Martel LLP, from 2005 to 2006, but according to public records Nagraj was not admitted to the bar until 6/1/2005, and by 11/20/2006 his status as an attorney was inactive. On 7/1/2014, Nagraj was not eligible to practice law, and he was suspended for failure to pay his Bar member fees. His status is presently inactive. Farella Braun and Martel LLP is located in San Francisco with an office in Napa, and represents clients throughout the United States and abroad in sophisticated business transactions and complex commercial, civil and criminal litigation, according to their website.

Nagraj married Kaitlin Mcgaw on October 3, 2015, and as a Democrat, Nagraj gave a political contribution of $100 to fight against proposition 8, during the gay marriage battle, while he was with TNDC.

Since 2013, Adhitya Nagraj has been the director of development at Bridge Housing, a $2 billion nonprofit housing developer. Through the years, key employees of Bridge Housing, have managed to get themselves into key positions at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and other agencies. Once in these positions at HUD and other agencies, the employees and former employees of Bridge Housing have been able to get into key positions to create or implement programs and policies that have immensely enriched Bridge Housing, at great expense to the tax payers.

Just one example of a Bridge Housing employee joining HUD, is Carole Galante, who was the President and CEO of Bridge Housing prior to her appointment with HUD. Once she was with HUD, one of her key signature initiatives that she developed and takes credit for was the Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD), a program that allows for the privatization of public housing units. As a direct result of her activities in developing the RAD program to privatize public housing, Bridge Housing has been able to profit immensely from her activities with HUD, and has managed to get their hands on hundreds of public housing units in San Francisco through the RAD program. The system is so corrupt, Bridge Housing was able to get its hands on 360 units of public housing, after Carol Galante, formerly of Bridge Housing, created and implemented the RAD program, which benefited Bridge Housing.
