While some run from conflict, Joshua Abrams heads towards it. A mediator and conflict coach, he has decades of experience facilitating complex and charged community conversations. Put him in a room and he will find consensus. Gather some jurisdictions together and he will have them collaborating on a project. Through nimble facilitation, attention to process and an ability to translate complex technical information into everyday English, he finds solutions to challenging problems. He is passionate about affordable housing, environmental justice and sustainability and has written affordable housing plans, inclusionary zoning ordinances and coordinated nexus studies. A frequent speaker on the topic, he is a national Accessory Dwelling Unit expert and has pioneered a suite of tools for homeowners and jurisdictions that has been shown to increase housing production. Josh is a graduate of Carleton College and Cornell University.
