This exempt position reports directly to the Executive Director, supervises a growing staff of seven professional employees, and manages an $11+ million HCV program of approx. 1,200 vouchers, with the expectations of growing the program in the near future. The position is responsible for developing and revising policies and procedures in accordance with federal regulations and Housing Authority policies, and preparing in-house and HUD reports, and other program documents. The Director of Voucher Programs works closely with the accounting department to ensure maximum utilization of HUD funding, conducts quality control audits and inspections for the program, monitors the programs/goals and objectives on a continuous basis, and record keeping. The desired candidate will have the skills and knowledge to perform all HCV program tasks (i.e., intake, lease-up, annual recertification, interim income adjustments, HQS inspections, etc.). The successful candidate will be a consensus builder and collaborator who take the initiative to resolve issues expeditiously and create a team-oriented working environment. The ideal candidate will be a “can-do”, high-energy leader who delegates appropriately, but is also willing to enthusiastically roll up their sleeves and be a working director, as are all ACHA executives.

Serving as a mentor and coach to the HCV team and having the interpersonal acumen to motivate staff, conduct in-house training of staff, proficient computer skills, and effective presentation skills are fundamental qualities of the HCV Director. Verifiable significant experience of working with a diverse population of individuals is a prerequisite for the position. Another essential attribute the model candidate should possess is the propensity to create and maintain effective working relations with landlords and HCV participants, demonstrating an excellence in customer service to resolve problems and issues as they might arise. Garnering effective working relationships with community partners is important, as well as serving as the face of the HCV program in the community and the public are high priorities of the position. The selected candidate must have the flexibility to attend Board and other meetings outside of normal work hours, and may be required to travel outside of the county and state for training and meetings.
