ABOUT THE TEAM AND ROLE 

The Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA) is entering a new phase guided by its recently completed strategic plan, which establishes near-term programmatic priorities while also outlining a path toward long-term operational sustainability. The Assistant Director will serve as the day-to-day leader of the BAHFA team, helping to ensure that the agency’s core programs are delivered effectively, resources are used strategically, and the organization remains stable and adaptive in a dynamic and constantly evolving housing ecosystem. BAHFA’s near-term priorities are designed to build towards the agency’s long-term vision to bring about transformative, systems-level change to ensure housing affordability and security for all throughout the nine-county Bay Area. 

 

A primary responsibility of the Assistant Director is to oversee the successful development, launch, and ongoing management of BAHFA’s new mixed-income financing tools, along with providing strategic oversight and operational support for the Doorway Housing Portal. The Assistant Director will also oversee monitoring and asset management of BAHFA’s existing program portfolio that includes more than 2,000 assisted units. The Assistant Director will supervise and mentor a team of 6-10 staff, strengthen day-to-day operations, and help establish the systems, processes, and internal capabilities needed for BAHFA to sustain itself through program generated revenue. 

 

The Assistant Director will represent BAHFA in a wide range of external settings and champion BAHFA’s statutory mission to advance the “3 Ps” (producing new affordable housing, preserving existing housing, and protecting residents from displacement). The Assistant Director will build strong, trust-based relationships that keep the agency informed, responsive, and well positioned to take advantage of emerging opportunities. This position is ideal for an experienced and pragmatic housing leader who understands how the Bay Area housing ecosystem works in practice while also thinking creatively about new approaches and value-add regional opportunities. The ideal candidate will balance thinking strategically while acting decisively, and will thrive in a hands on, entrepreneurial environment within a larger public agency.
