  • Oversee housing operations, including leasing, recertifications, waitlists, regulatory compliance, financial performance, reporting, resident services, and coordination with facilities staff.
  • Supervise and support Housing Department staff and coordinate outside professionals, including property managers, consultants, architects, engineers, attorneys, contractors, and other project partners.
  • Lead and support significant grant and proposal development, including identifying funding opportunities, preparing applications, managing project requirements, and maintaining relationships with public and private funders.
  • Collaborate across CAPSC programs to connect residents with services and resources that support housing stability, self-sufficiency, and overall well-being.
  • Serve as a leading CAPSC voice on affordable and fair housing issues and build strong relationships with municipal leaders, housing organizations, public officials, funders, and community stakeholders.
  • Monitor emerging housing policies, funding opportunities, regulations, and market trends and recommend strategies to expand affordable housing opportunities.
  • Represent CAPSC at public meetings, community events, presentations, and other external functions.
  • Serve as a member of CAPSC’s leadership team and contribute to agency-wide strategic planning and initiatives.
Ideal Candidate Profile
  • Minimum of three years of experience in affordable housing management, housing development, housing policy, community development, or a related field.
  • Experience with affordable housing funding, financing, and compliance programs, including LIHTC, HOME, DHCD, FHLB, and other public and private funding sources.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of fair housing laws, affordable housing regulations, compliance requirements, and current housing policies and trends.
  • Experience managing complex projects involving multiple partners, funding sources, deadlines, and regulatory requirements.
  • Strong financial, organizational, project management, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building, advocacy, written communication, and public speaking skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with residents, staff, municipalities, public officials, developers, funders, consultants, and community partners.
  • Experience with project planning, program development, and cross-sector collaboration preferred.
