Community Housing Development Corporation seeks a visionary, collaborative, and highly effective Director of Real Estate Development to lead an impactful portfolio of affordable housing initiatives across the Bay Area. This role is ideal for a seasoned development professional who combines strategy with relationships and hands‑on execution-someone who can oversee site acquisition through project close‑out while managing financing, compliance, and community partnerships. The Director will guide a talented team; cultivate strong relationships with public and private partners; and drive innovative approaches to expanding affordable housing opportunities for low‑income and underserved residents. With organizational leadership that values equity, collaboration, and community voice, CHDC is looking for a leader who is both technically strong and also deeply aligned with the mission of advancing housing access, neighborhood revitalization, and financial opportunity. Candidates who thrive in a fast‑paced, impact‑oriented nonprofit setting-and who are energized by shaping strategy and serving diverse communities-will find this a compelling opportunity to make meaningful and scalable change.
About Community Housing Development Corporation:
Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) was founded in 1990 with a vision of creating vibrant, safe, and diverse communities throughout our region where people of all ages can thrive within communities free of blight, crime, and pollution, where involved residents have access to affordable housing, education, health care, and economic opportunity. CHDC provides a broad range of affordable housing opportunities and services to enable low/moderate‑income residents to gain better housing and financial stability. Our unique approach to community development engages residents at the grassroots level and ensures that the whole neighborhood and its residents benefit from the affordable housing and the neighborhood services provided. CHDC develops housing for families of all sizes, ages, and people with disabilities. We emphasize affordability for people with incomes below 80% of the area's median income. Our for‑sale properties are targeted at first‑time buyers. Buyers are prepared and qualified to purchase through CHDC's Homeownership Program. As a certified Community Development Financial Institute (CDFI) we can make direct loans to first‑time homebuyers, along with down payment assistance.
Our property management service has grown to include services that improve the quality of life for residents which include on‑site financial literacy, social service after‑school programs, education, career skill‑building opportunities, and access to affordable transportation. CHDC is a Green Certified NeighborWorks organization. We also focus on using energy‑efficient products in our existing properties and new developments, along with offering grants to purchase eco‑friendly clean vehicles.
Over 30 years since CHDC was founded it remains to be a shortage of affordable housing for low and extremely low‑income people in the Bay Area, which greatly impacts their long‑term economic security. As an organization we're looking at how to advocate for legal protection for renters and homeowners; increase the sheer number of housing opportunities for low‑income families; and how educate our communities about their financial stability, so there is true equity and inclusion in the marketplace we're focusing on Race, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in our operations and decision‑making policies. We're joining the larger conversation about racial equity within the affordable housing market, conversations that lead to action. We hope you'll join the conversation as it takes more than just talking about equity, equality, diversity, and inclusion, but that's where we can start.
