About The Opportunity
The Department of Housing Services is currently looking for its next Senior Program Coordinator - Real Estate to serve the mission of creating pathways out of homelessness, promoting housing stability, and investing in affordable communities for Washington County and our residents.
Are you passionate about creating lasting solutions to housing affordability and homelessness? As a Senior Program Coordinator with Washington County, you’ll take the lead on some of the region’s most impactful affordable housing initiatives. This role offers the opportunity to manage complex real estate development projects from concept through completion—working with public, nonprofit, and private partners to bring deeply affordable and supportive housing to Washington County. You will oversee the strategic use of local, state, and federal funding sources—including LIHTC, HOME, CDBG, and Supportive Housing Services (SHS)—to finance and implement housing developments that serve our most vulnerable residents. You will also help shape housing policy, guide entitlement processes, and ensure projects align with community needs and access and opportunity goals. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of housing development, public service, and systems change.
Ideal Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (KSAs)
The ideal candidate is a mission‑driven housing professional with experience in affordable housing, real estate development, public financing, and/or related community development work. They have supported or led projects involving site acquisition, design coordination, entitlements, financing, and construction, and they understand how these components fit together over the life of a development project. This candidate brings strong project and team management skills. They know how to plan and budget projects, solicit and administer contracts, and coordinate teams. They excel at balancing the needs of diverse partners—including developers, service providers, funders, and community members—while maintaining compliance with local, state, and federal housing requirements. They are capable of managing housing development across various phases, including acquisition, predevelopment, construction, and conversion to permanent operations. They thrive in collaborative, cross‑functional environments. Experience with shelter, transitional housing, or permanent supportive housing is a plus, but not required.
Candidates with comparable or transferrable experience - and an interest in working in a mission-oriented environment – are encouraged to apply. Qualified backgrounds could include roles in community development, urban planning, public sector or nonprofit project management, capital project delivery, or other mission‑driven fields that require coordinating multi‑stakeholder initiatives, navigating regulatory processes, managing complex funding streams, and ensuring strong fiscal and contractual oversight.
