Joshua Cappell

Joshua is a housing advocate and software engineer, working with Affordable Housing Online for more than ten years to curate, analyze, and explain affordable housing information. Growing up in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit rentals just minutes from AHO Headquarters in Salisbury, MD, the stability provided by the housing program allowed Joshua and his mother the financial flexibility to invest in his higher education. Working part-time, Joshua pursued a focused associate's degree, discovering his calling in finding the human meaning in statistics. For Joshua, like many, the economics of college did not work out. Needing a more regular income, he dropped out of college, taking full-time positions in food and retail to help shoulder his family's cost of living. Meeting Dave in 2012, they both saw an opportunity to more effectively advocate and amplify the information needed for struggling households to find affordable housing. While Joshua is always ready to talk housing, he occasionally takes breaks to support live music and host game nights.
