Who says you can’t go home again?

In February, 2002 Ted Brzyski returned to CIC as a Senior Loan Officer with a special focus on the housing rehab needs of the six-county Chicago area.

Ted (whose last name is pronounced "BRIS-key") had been a Senior Loan Officer with CIC for almost ten years from 1988 through mid-1998. During those years Ted marketed, underwrote, and delivered loan commitments for over 1200 units in Chicago and suburbs. These included a wide variety of transactions, from small 6-flat loans to multi-layered tax credit transactions. Prior to Ted’s first stint with CIC, he spent many years with the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission and in organizing neighborhood residents around housing issues.

From 1998 through early 2002, Ted served as executive director of the Oak Park Residence Corporation where he was responsible for the management of over 800 units of rental housing in the private and public sectors, and for the administration of over 400 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the private sector. Ted also worked for Fannie Mae as a Community Development Business Manager in the Midwest, providing specialized financing for the production of affordable single-family homes and rental units.

Born and raised in the Chicago area, Ted has a Masters Degree from Roosevelt University in Chicago.
