COZEN O’CONNOR PUBLIC STRATEGIES

Katrell advocates on behalf of the firm's clients in Albany and New York, and serves as a strategic adviser to our land use clients. He is a highly regarded public policy strategist, with a proven track record of building consensus with legislators and government agencies, having spent his early career successfully paving the way for affordable housing for New Yorkers.

Most recently, Katrell served as vice president of government and community partnerships at Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County. During his tenure at Habitat for Humanity, Katrell helped to create hundreds of affordable homeownership units and affordable LGBTQ senior housing, successfully advanced bipartisan state legislation to reform the state’s affordable homeownership program, and advocated for the addition of $400 million in affordable homeownership funding for NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal. As a result of his leadership, Crain’s New York Business honored Katrell with their annual 40 under 40 recognition in 2022.
