Why Choose Catalina Housing?

Erik Aukland Founder & Managing Principal
Our Founder’s Vision

Catalina Housing was born from my belief that stable, affordable housing is essential to a thriving life. I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, where disinvestment and housing instability shaped my community—and the lives of my classmates.

That early experience taught me that housing is about more than shelter—it’s about dignity, opportunity, and stability.
Years later, after working across the affordable housing system, I came to believe that long-term, community-rooted ownership is key to helping residents and neighborhoods thrive.

Catalina Housing was created with that goal: to invest for the long term, preserve affordability, and support communities—because when housing is stable, everything else has a chance to grow.

Investing in the Future of Communities

We believe that affordable housing should serve as a catalyst for positive change. By investing in long-term preservation, we help maintain affordability in neighborhoods where gentrification threatens to push families out. We also invest in community programs that support residents’ financial and personal growth.

I chose to sell to Catalina Housing because I trusted them to take a long-term, responsible approach to ownership. In a neighborhood experiencing rapid change, their commitment to thoughtful reinvestment and continued affordability made them the right fit for the future of the property.
