Rep. Capuano hires a housing expert

Posted by Katie Barrows on Jan. 15, 2014

A Massachusetts congressman has added a housing expert to his legislative team.

Gira Bose has joined the office of Rep. Mike Capuano (D-Mass.) as a legislative counsel. In her position, she will be covering housing and issues related to the House Financial Services Committee, where her boss is ranking member of the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee.

Prior to joining Capuano's staff, Bose served as a senior tax policy and legislative associate for the National Council of State Housing Agencies and as the director of government relations for the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. Both of these organizations work towards increasing access to affordable housing.

This is not Bose's first stint in Congress. Bose began her Hill career in 1999 as a staff assistant for Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), eventually climbing the ranks to district representative.
