Director of Housing
Reporting to the CEO, this Director supervises a team of five direct reports and other staff as needed, and manages all affordable housing initiatives. A key member of the BHNC/BHHC Executive Team, the Director drives housing development, manages project execution, and advances the preservation, financing, stewardship, compliance and community impact of affordable housing in San Francisco, with a focus on Bernal Heights, Excelsior and surrounding neighborhoods. The Director should have a dealmaker’s sensibility combined with the heart of a leader with lived or professional experience of affordable housing, and be a person who deeply understands those who will benefit from the housing developed by the organization. The Director must also have strong experience with the financial mechanisms of affordable housing, and have the entrepreneurial spirit needed to proactively identify new projects where BHNC and BHHC can successfully provide support to under-housed, vulnerable populations. This leader will be responsible for originating, coordinating and implementing all aspects of affordable housing project development, from deal origination and feasibility studies through construction and stabilized occupancy. Projects may include new construction, rehabilitation and joint ventures with other developers.
