The City of Tucson is hiring an Interim Executive Director for EPHD

The City of Tucson is recruiting for a short-term, Interim Executive Director to create a strong foundation for the operations and long-term success of the non-profit, affordable housing development arm, El Pueblo Housing Development (EPHD). EPHD is a City-controlled, publicly accountable 501(c)3 nonprofit development entity that develops, finances, owns and preserves affordable housing, including Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties. EPHD operates in close coordination with the City of Tucson Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) and relies on City staff and shared services for functions that may include legal, finance, procurement, human resources, information technology, facilities and risk management. 

EPHD's corporate, project, partnership and property-level responsibilities are distinct from the City's, while many approvals, staffing relationships and controls are interdependent. Its expanding development pipeline and long-term owner and asset-management role require governance and financial and operating systems that are formal, repeatable, auditable and capable of continuing beyond any one employee or consultant. 

This position will be an appointed position by the City of Tucson City Manager and will report to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The estimated timeline for the position is 12-18 months.
