Jasmin Shupper is the Founder and CEO of Greenline Housing Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to close the racial wealth gap by granting access to homeownership for people of color and providing financial education, to ultimately reverse the effects of systemic racism in housing.
Prior to starting Greenline, Jasmin worked as the Business Director at Fellowship Church in Monrovia for four years, were she managed a multi-million dollar budget. She holds a BS in International Business from Pepperdine University, as well as a California Real Estate Salesperson's license.
Upon graduating from college Jasmin worked as a corporate credit risk underwriter and financial analyst for 10 years, underwriting large contractors, developers and fortune 500 companies. Jasmin loves real estate and has from an early age, and her background in finance gave her insight into the generational opportunities that property ownership affords. However, along with that knowledge came a deep sense of sadness at what generations of discrimination in housing has meant for the economic legacy of people of color.
She is interested in the Ross Minority Program in Real Estate because she seeks to gain a holistic understanding of real estate development from financing to building to community engagement, so that she can attack systemic racism in housing in practical and effective ways. With her knowledge, Jasmin seeks to implement creative solutions to housing injustice, by way of community ownership and wealth restoration models, and by integrating these learnings into the efforts currently underway at Greenline, she ultimately aims to impact people and communities of color for good, and equip them to build lasting economic legacies. Jasmin also serves on the Board of Directors of the San Gabriel Valley Community Land Trust.
In her spare time she enjoys traveling with her husband and two girls, speaking French, cooking, and eating at new and exciting restaurants. She can also be found at the beach with a good book or watching HGTV.
