Manager of Advancing Black Homeownership
You bring a deep understanding of and commitment to affordable homeownership, grounded in a clear awareness of how Black Portlanders have been systemically excluded from opportunities to build wealth and stability through homeownership. In this role, you actively apply that understanding to advance equitable access to Habitat’s Homeownership program. You have demonstrated success delivering and evaluating culturally responsive services and addressing systemic barriers impacting historically underserved communities. You are comfortable learning and working within the Habitat homeownership model and are motivated to design and implement new, culturally responsive strategies to engage Black Portlanders and increase access to Habitat’s homeownership opportunities. You thrive in outreach-focused work and enjoy presenting, building trust, and developing lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships with community members, organizations, and leaders.
As a collaborative, creative problem solver and strong communicator, you work effectively across teams while bringing in-depth knowledge of systemic housing barriers and equitable community development. Experience building trusted relationships with the Black community, you serve as a connector and advocate—elevating Habitat’s Homeownership program, reducing barriers to participation, and helping ensure the program is inclusive, accessible, and impactful for Black families.
