About Henry G. Cisneros
Henry Cisneros is chairman of
American CityVista, a joint venture with KB Home, constructing
affordable housing in central cities. Cisneros is also
chairman of Pacific City Homes, an urban housing fund
in California, and Ventana Homes, which builds affordably
priced homes in smaller Texas cities. He is founder
of American Sunrise, a nonprofit housing corporation
in San Antonio.
In 1981, Cisneros became the first
Hispanic–American mayor of a major U.S. city—San
Antonio. During his four terms, he helped rebuild the
city’s economic base and create jobs through massive
infrastructure and downtown improvements, earning San
Antonio a reputation as one of the nation’s most
progressive cities.
From 1993 to 1997, Cisneros served
as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. He is credited with revitalizing the nation’s
public housing developments and formulating policies
that have contributed to today’s record home-ownership
rates. Cisneros later became president and COO of Spanish-language
broadcaster Univision Communications.
Cisneros is a former deputy chair
of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and
past chairman of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce. He presently serves on the boards of Countrywide
Mortgage, The Enterprise Foundation and the New American
Alliance. He holds bachelor of arts and master’s
degrees in urban and regional planning from Texas A&M
University, a master’s in public administration
from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in public administration
from George Washington University.
