SACRAMENTO, September 19, 2025 — Tony Sertich is the new Executive Director of the California Housing Finance Agency after he was appointed to the position by Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday.
Sertich, who most recently served as the Assistant Deputy Director over the Division of State Financial Assistance at the California Department of Housing and Community Development, is no stranger to CalHFA, serving as the Agency’s Financing Risk Manager, Director of Multifamily Programs and Director of Enterprise Risk Management and Compliance between 2005 and 2018.
Following his first stint at CalHFA, Sertich was State Controller Betty Yee’s top housing advisor from 2019 to 2022, a role that included serving as the Controller’s designee on the boards of the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee.
“Mr. Sertich knows CalHFA and, even more importantly, knows the state’s housing finance ecosystem from nearly every perspective,” said CalHFA Board Chair Jim Cervantes. “With CalHFA and its sister agencies moving into a new era under the umbrella of the California Housing and Homelessness Agency, Mr. Sertich’s experience and expertise will be invaluable.”
