Todd Lee, executive director and CEO of the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency, died Wednesday. He was 51.

Mayor Muriel Bowser said she was โ€œheartbroken to learn of Leeโ€™s death and praised his work as a public servant.

โ€œTodd was a true champion for D.C. and a tremendous public servant,โ€ Bowser said in a statement. โ€œDuring a time when housing has become the number one issue in our city, Todd delivered for the people and families of the District If a program wasnโ€™t working, he fixed it. If a program was missing, he created it.

โ€œHe was committed to innovation, to finding new resources and maximizing the ones we already have available, and, above all, he was committed to getting Washingtonians into affordable homes,โ€ the mayor said. โ€œWe will miss his leadership and his friendship.โ€
