The AHTCC Remembers Fred Copeman

  • January 21, 2021
  • 2021 News, AHTCC Organizational Update

It is with great sadness that the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition shares news of the passing of Fred Copeman, a longstanding member of our Board of Directors, Executive Vice President at Boston Financial Investment Management, and a true thought leader, friend and mentor to many in the affordable housing industry. His contributions to affordable housing are immense, and his loss will be felt by many. We are keeping him and his family in our thoughts.

Fred was involved with the AHTCC since its inception in 1988, and has been an active member of our Board of Directors. He was a deeply engaged advocate and a fixture in our committees and working groups, always eager to share his expertise on everything from the most technical matters to the long-term positioning of the affordable housing industry. Most recently, he developed a proposal to help sustain Housing Credit investment in light of delays brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, which gained immediate support in Congress and passed the House of Representatives in July of 2020. We will remember Fred for all of his contributions, as well as his expertise, vision, commitment, kindness, friendship, and sense of humor.

 

 

 

 

Fred spent more than 30 years working in the public accounting and Housing Credit industry. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President for Boston Financial, where he was involved in the company’s housing preservation program, helped Boston Financial launch its first Opportunity Zone fund and represented the firm on governmental affairs matters.

Prior to joining Boston Financial in 2017, Fred spent 23 years with Ernst & Young LLP, where he led the development of new Housing Credit industry reports that built confidence in the program, and spent seven years with CohnReznick LLP. He led the tax credit advisory practice at both firms. During his career in public accounting, Fred served as a due diligence advisor for corporations reviewing Housing Credit investments and authored or co-authored twelve studies on the economic performance of Housing Credit properties.
Fred received a B.A. in Government from Georgetown University, his Master of Taxation from Bentley University and his Juris Doctor from the New England School of Law.
