Alba Solis’ personal journey as a Honduran immigrant has deeply shaped her commitment to equitable and resident-focused housing development for immigrant and low-income families. Her background as an educator at Boston Public Schools further reinforced her understanding of the critical need for stable, affordable housing in underserved communities.

Her educational path began with studies in Fine Arts at Bunker Hill Community College, followed by Architecture at MassArt, where she honed her skills in design and problem-solving. These experiences laid the foundation for a passion for using architecture as a tool for social change. In 2023, she joined the Fellowship for Equitable Affordable Housing Development (FEAHD) through Opportunities Communities, where she is currently a Fellow. This two-year program, running until September 2025, has provided specialized training and hands-on experience in affordable housing development and management. As part of a six-woman BIPOC cohort, she is building the skills and expertise needed to tackle housing challenges effectively.

Now focused on managing affordable housing rehabilitation projects, she leverages her architectural lens and creative problem-solving skills to address the housing crisis for low-income families. Passionate about learning, collaborating, and creating meaningful change, she is dedicated to empowering underserved communities through stable and equitable housing solutions.
