Job Description:
ABOUT US:
Boston Housing Authority (BHA) fosters sustainable communities by providing quality affordable housing, bringing stability, opportunity, and peace of mind to thousands of low and moderate-income families across Greater Boston and the City of Boston as a whole. As the largest provider of affordable housing in Boston, one of the most expensive cities in the country, BHA understands housing as a crucial platform for individual, household, and community stability. Through its Public Housing communities and Section 8 rental assistance programs, BHA provides housing assistance and services to more than 58,000 low and moderate-income households, including families with children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities. In all aspects of our operations, internally and externally, BHA is committed to breaking down the barriers to racial equity and justice in housing and related fields that disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION:
As a proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, age, sex, religion, physical or mental disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, and military and veteran status, or any other basis protected by local, state or federal law. To the greatest extent possible, it is the policy of BHA to give preference in employment to BHA residents, leased housing residents, and low-income persons. As a housing authority, we recognize the historical role that residential racial segregation has played in the City of Boston. The BHA of today and in the future will actively address and dismantle barriers to becoming a diverse, equitable, and inclusive city.
ABOUT THE JOB:
Reporting to the Chief of Staff or their designee, the Special Assistant for Administration will support the implementation of BHA’s strategic priorities. This role will be responsible for helping the Chief of Staff and other senior colleagues build and maintain programs, systems, and structures that enhance BHA housing communities and stakeholder coordination. This role will support work across BHA departments.
The position requires an independent self-starter with a strong attention to detail to provide staffing support to the Administrator in professional settings, coordinate special projects, and ensure follow up of inquiries and issues raised to the Administrator. The position requires sound independent judgement and planning to relieve the Chief of Staff of high-level constituent responses, writing and scheduling tasks as well as routine office matters.
