POSITION DESCRIPTION:
LISC Connecticut seeks an individual with passion to join our highly productive and capable team as a Program Officer for Housing and Capacity Building. This person will provide thought leadership and stewardship of the local office’s affordable housing agenda across Connecticut, especially in suburban and rural communities, to create opportunities for multi-family rental housing and affordable homeownership.
Primarily, the Program Officer for Housing & Capacity Building will provide financial and technical assistance to LISC’s community development partners and will be responsible for building and nurturing such partnerships in diverse communities throughout the state. The successful candidate should have a commitment to community-based development, experience in developing affordable housing and/or other community-based real estate development, knowledge of basic real estate development fundamentals, awareness of statewide housing policy initiatives, and an ability to share this knowledge through technical assistance to partners.
In addition, the position will work closely with the Senior Executive Director on all new housing initiatives as this body of work continues to scale, to include the exploration of a housing investment fund to support sustained investment in affordable housing and enable equitable development opportunities for mission focused developers in Connecticut.
The Program Officer must have the capacity to simultaneously work on multiple tasks, solve problems, pay strong attention to detail, and follow-through in a timely fashion. The position requires strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to provide quality customer service to a variety of stakeholders – developers, advocates, and community residents.
The Program Officer will report directly to the Senior Program Officer for Lending & Investments but will work closely with several members of the Connecticut team, including the Senior Executive Director and Director of Partnerships and Programs.
To accommodate our stakeholders, periodic evening and weekend work may be required.
