• Organize coalition meetings, consultations, briefings, and other major policy events with external partners, policy experts, advocates, academics, and practitioners — including people with lived expertise — to understand priorities, provide input into CBPP’s work, share CBPP recommendations, develop advocacy strategies, and advance policy goals.
• Analyze federal, state, or local legislation/regulations to develop new policy ideas and program recommendations.
• Contribute to or author critiques of housing budget and policy proposals, reports, memos, blogs, public comments, and other written products that translate complex policies and analyses into digestible information for different audiences.
