IV — About
Built by someone who has done the work.
Canopy Civic Atlas is led by Cruz Romero Morales — a bilingual practitioner with direct experience in LIHTC applications ($150M+), community data management, ArcGIS analysis, and federal grant management ($80M+). This is not a firm that reads about housing. It is a firm that has catalogued properties, written applications, and organized communities.
That combination — rigorous data and genuine mission — is what makes the intelligence here different.
