George Fernandez, founder and CEO of Latino Connection and developer with the Fernandez Realty Group, has a vision for Dauphin County, Pennsylvania that is bigger than any one building, city or person.“I feel like I have traumas from being a kid that I haven’t addressed, and one of those traumas was low-income housing,” Fernandez said. “I wanted to make more access and bigger opportunities, and overall I wanted to build something that would help to change the face of what low income housing looks like.”In July 2022, the NYT reported that Harrisburg is the second most competitive retail market in the country, signaled by the fact that demand for low-income housing is three times greater than the number of available affordable rental homes in Dauphin County. Fernandez aims to make a difference in this community, where he was raised.
