The Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP), a non-profit public agency, works with communities to create innovative policy and financing solutions that provide affordable homes and better lives for the people of Massachusetts. Our mission is to pioneer new development and financing models that make more effective use of public resources, be responsive to local needs, promote racial equity, and achieve greater impact than conventional approaches to affordable housing. MHP focuses on the following areas: Community Assistance, Rental Development and Portfolio Management, Homeownership and Data & Policy. 

Current Opportunity: 

The Director of Community Assistance will engage in a variety of impactful activities, including managing and fostering the growth of the Community Assistance team, overseeing technical assistance to improve local affordable housing, providing thought leadership on policy development, developing new policies and programs, leading training efforts, ensuring program sustainability, building strong external relationships, and actively participating in community events.

This position is available due to a key transition within our team, offering an exciting leadership opportunity for a new contributor. Our long-time Director, Laura Shufelt, is transitioning into a part-time, program-specific role within the Community Assistance team at MHP, where she will continue to contribute her vast knowledge and experience.
