Who We Are
Maggie and Mark, the principals of Fish Plate Development, each have close to thirty years of experience in affordable and supportive housing and have a deep and comprehensive knowledge of development. We both started our affordable housing careers with non-profit social service organizations.

Prior to joining Dunn Development Corp., she spent ten years as Director of Operations at The Doe Fund, an innovative homeless service provider in New York City, helping to design and implement the agency’s award-winning Ready, Willing & Able work and training program for homeless individuals and starting the agency’s forays into supportive permanent housing development.

Back in the 1990’s Mark spent a year in the management training program at the Port Authority of NY/NJ after getting a Masters of Public Administration at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA).
It was in graduate school that Mark was first introduced to affordable housing development, taking part in an affordable housing competition sponsored by Chase Bank to secure grant funding for PAES (a non-profit supportive housing group, now Brooklyn Community Housing and Services). Mark went to college at Washington University in St. Louis.
