CLPHA seeks a visionary and dynamic Executive Director to lead this influential organization during a critical time for affordable housing in the United States. Building on the significant accomplishments of retiring Executive Director Sunia Zaterman, who has successfully elevated CLPHA's profile and impact, the new Executive Director will champion the interests of large public housing authorities and their residents. This is a unique opportunity to shape federal housing policy, drive innovation in the affordable housing sector, and support the critical work of CLPHA’s member organizations. The Executive Director will be a leading voice in addressing the complex challenges of housing affordability, recapitalizing the nation's public housing infrastructure, and fostering thriving, equitable communities. The ideal candidate will possess deep knowledge of housing policy, exceptional advocacy skills, a collaborative leadership style, and a passion for CLPHA's mission. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director leads and manages the organization in accordance with policies, goals, and objectives established by the Board and articulated through CLPHA’s mission, values, and strategic plan. This person will oversee an operating budget of $3.5 million and a staff of 11 employees.
