    Description

    Faith and Community Empowerment is a mission-driven organization currently managing a pipeline of 20 faith-based partners exploring the transformation of their land into affordable housing. We are seeking a highly motivated Affordable Housing Development Intern to serve as a critical bridge between our architectural partners, our board of experts, and our church sites.

    This is a unique, "ground-floor" opportunity. You will start by coordinating technical yield studies and will be mentored to transition into an Assistant Project Manager role as we move toward formal development partnership agreements.


    Key Responsibilities

    • Architectural Coordination: Act as the primary point of contact for our architect; track progress on Yield Studies and Test Fits for our top-tier church sites.
    • Site Feasibility: Review zoning codes and site constraints to help determine the viability of proposed projects.
    • Relationship Management: Assist in the preparation of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) documents and other documents for churches entering the early development phase.
    • Project Tracking: Maintain the "Pipeline Dashboard," ensuring all 20 churches and other interested churches are moving through the screening process efficiently.
    • Development Transition: As projects mature, assist in drafting the scope for Development Partnership Agreements and coordinate with co-developers.

    The Ideal Candidate

    We are looking for a self-starter who isn't afraid of technical data or community-focused mission work.

    • Education: Current graduate student or recent graduate in Urban Planning, Real Estate Development, Architecture, or related field.
    • Skills: Ability to read site plans/test fits and understand basic zoning terminology. Familiarity with the "affordable housing stack" (LIHTC, vouchers, etc.) is a major plus.
    • Communication: High emotional intelligence; comfortable speaking with both architects and church leadership.
    • Ambition: Someone looking to grow into a full-time Assistant Project Manager role as our portfolio scales.

    Why Join Us?

    You won’t just be getting coffee; you’ll be in the room where deals happen. You will be mentored directly by board members with decades of affordable housing experience and gain hands-on experience in the pre-development phase of real estate.

    To Apply: Please send a resume and a brief cover letter outlining your interest in faith-based housing development to
