In this discussion, Jim is joined by Dr. Willie Logan, President and CEO of Opa-Locka Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit builder of affordable housing communities in northern Miami-Dade, FL. Last year, Opa-Locka CDC won a landmark lawsuit against HallKeen Management, a large property management company, over ownership stakes of Aswan Village Apartments in Miami.
