Affordable housing in Sacramento faces great challenges and opportunities. As the economic downturn caused home ownership to decline and rent prices to increase, working families struggled to stay afloat. The Sacramento Housing Alliance (SHA) seeks an effective and visionary Executive Director with innovative solutions for this recovering housing environment. The Executive Director will lead the organization’s advocacy and education efforts around affordable housing, homelessness, land use and transportation. The ideal candidate will have a strong affordable housing policy background which will inform the way current challenges are addressed, as well as a solid commitment to the Sacramento community.
SHA, a 25 year-old organization with strong community partnerships, has been the Sacramento area’s voice for affordable housing and regional equity in policy decisions and community planning. The mission of SHA is to promote quality affordable and accessible housing and enhanced opportunities for lower income households and homeless individuals. SHA is an advocacy, coalition building and education organization focused on improving local and regional public policy for people at the lowest incomes. Future challenges include preserving the Mixed Income Housing Ordinances in both the City and County of Sacramento, helping to reshape the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency and building on the regional equity initiatives of the recent past. The organization is seeking a leader with a blend of political, organizing and affordable housing policy knowledge to successfully address these challenges.
Description
The Executive Director will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the corporation and represent the organization in public settings.
