🏡 Director of Real Estate Development | Affordable Housing
📍 Richmond, CA (Hybrid) | 💰 $175K-$205K

Are you an affordable housing development leader who can take projects from concept to completion?

We're partnering with a mission-driven nonprofit developer seeking a Director of Real Estate Development to lead a growing portfolio of affordable housing projects throughout Northern California.

This is not a traditional real estate development role.

We're looking for someone who has deep experience in affordable housing finance, tax credits, public funding applications, community engagement, and leading development teams. You'll oversee a pipeline of approximately 20 projects while managing a team of project managers and development professionals.

What We're Looking For:

✅ Affordable housing development experience (required)

✅ LIHTC / Tax Credit expertise

✅ Funding applications, grants, loans, and public financing

✅ Experience leading projects from acquisition through construction and closeout

✅ Strong leadership and people management skills

✅ Ability to navigate community meetings, public presentations, and stakeholder engagement

Why This Opportunity?

• Highly visible leadership role

• Hybrid work environment

• Mission-driven organization making a direct impact on underserved communities

• Opportunity to shape the future growth of a respected affordable housing developer

• Competitive compensation: $175K-$205K

🚫 This is not a fit for commercial real estate, market-rate development, property management, or real estate sales professionals.

If you've spent your career building affordable housing communities and are ready to lead at a strategic level, I'd love to connect.

Benefits: Make a meaningful community impact while enjoying a strong benefits package including Kaiser medical, 403(b), paid time off, and holidays.
