CBPP’s Housing... and Income Security team brings together the organization’s housing and TANF policy staff to work collectively on improving housing affordability and cash assistance for families with low incomes.

The Deputy Director or Director of State Housing Policy will be the lead for our state and local level housing policy advocacy. This work will initially focus on California but will grow to be a nationwide effort with the goal of expanding state and local investment in tenant-based rental assistance, and other strategies to increase and improve housing stability and affordability for people with low incomes. This position will work collaboratively with the Housing and Income Security team to provide policy analysis, data, and technical assistance to an array of important stakeholders, including policymakers, journalists, and practitioners.
Responsibilities
• Develop, revise, and execute the Center’s strategy to increase state and local investments in rental assistance and other forms of affordable housing.
• Manage staff and consultants dedicated to state housing policy work. We will soon be hiring for a Policy Analyst who will dedicate 50 percent of their time to this work.

• Monitor and evaluate the impact of federal, state, and local policy proposals (including legislative and regulatory changes), focusing on how they will affect certain communities such as low-income renters, communities of color, people experiencing homelessness, and families with children.
• 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.

The Center is seeking applicants with research, fact-gathering, writing, analytic, data analysis, advocacy, campaigns, community outreach, communications, social media, project coordination, and computer skills.
Successful interns will have a commitment to the Center’s mission to improve the well-being of low- and moderate-income people and advance economic and racial equity as part of the Center’s work.
Bringing diverse perspectives to state and federal policy debates
To expand the diversity of voices that speak with authority in federal and state policy debates, the Center’s internship program identifies highly motivated candidates — with particular attention to candidates having experience with communities that are underrepresented in policy debates — with a demonstrated interest in working on public policies that affect low-income and diverse communities and have implications for racial equity.

You must have documentation of work authorization for the U.S. AND a U.S. Social Security number to be employed by the Center.
