SUMMARY OF POSITION: Advance Fair Housing Justice Where It Matters Most
Alternatives for Community & Environment Inc. (ACE) is a movement-based organization that integrates environmental justice, fair housing, and fair lending to build healthier, more equitable, and resilient communities. For more than 30 years, ACE has been a grassroots environmental justice organization building community power and using organizing, advocacy, and legal strategies to confront environmental racism and systemic inequity. ACE brings deep roots in Roxbury and surrounding neighborhoods, a multilingual and multicultural community base, and extensive experience in fair housing education, tenant rights advocacy, legal support, and fair housing testing and enforcement.
As communities across Massachusetts continue to face housing discrimination, displacement, and growing threats to housing security, ACE seeks a mission-driven, organized, and community-centered Part-Time Fair Housing Project Coordinator to support its Fair Housing Trust Fund grant. This role goes beyond traditional program coordination. The Coordinator will serve as the operational hub of the project, managing community intake, case tracking, partner communications, and compliance monitoring, while supporting fair housing education, outreach, testing, and enforcement activities statewide.
The Coordinator will work closely with community members, partner organizations, pro bono attorneys, municipalities, housing providers, and ACE staff to ensure fair housing resources reach the communities that need them most, in the languages they speak and the places they trust. The Coordinator will support the project's focus on high-impact education, outreach, testing and enforcement support, and capacity-building, with an emphasis on the intersection of fair housing and environmental justice.
The Coordinator will report to the Deputy Director and will support the full range of grant activities, including multilingual outreach, technical assistance, partnership coordination, and fair housing testing.
REQUIRED EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
Experience: Experience in community organizing, housing advocacy, tenant rights, fair housing, civil rights, or related direct service work.
Organizational Skills: Strong organizational and time-management skills, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and reporting requirements.
Community Engagement: Experience working with diverse communities, partners, and stakeholders, and a commitment to fair housing, racial equity, and environmental justice principles.
Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate clearly with community members, partners, and funders.
Data and Compliance: Proficiency with case tracking, data collection, and standard office software; experience with grant-funded programs and reporting requirements preferred.
Language Skills: Fluency in a second language commonly spoken by communities in Greater Boston or Massachusetts-such as Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole, Mandarin, or Arabic-strongly preferred.
Fair Housing Knowledge: Familiarity with Massachusetts and federal fair housing laws and experience with fair housing testing or enforcement preferred.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Manage day-to-day grant operations, including community intake, case tracking, partner communications, and compliance monitoring, and maintain the project case tracking system throughout the grant year.
Serve as the primary point of contact for community members seeking fair housing information and support; conduct intake for fair housing complaints; provide documentation support and case navigation; and refer community members to legal aid and other appropriate services.
Provide direct fair housing technical assistance to a minimum of 50 community members over the grant year.
Coordinate communications with partner organizations; support the development and execution of MOUs with at least 3 partner organizations within 30 days of grant award; and facilitate quarterly partner coordination meetings.
Support logistics for a minimum of 4 community-facing fair housing education workshops and a minimum of 3 multilingual community outreach sessions, including venue coordination, interpretation, supplies, and presenter honoraria.
Support the development, translation, printing, and distribution of fair housing educational materials in up to 20 languages, including Know Your Housing Rights brochures, flyers, and informational cards, in both print and digital formats.
Distribute materials through community events, workshops, housing providers, municipal partners, community-based organizations, faith-based institutions, and ACE's Environmental Justice Assistance Network (EJAN).
Support the coordination of 25-30 paired fair housing tests statewide using telephone, in-person, and other appropriate methods, including tester scheduling, compensation tracking, and documentation of results.
Support staff training and train-the-trainer activities, including scheduling, logistics, and follow-up with at least 2 partner organizations.
Track deliverables and outcomes against project targets; support timely submission of quarterly progress reports and the final narrative report to EOHLC; and maintain documentation for grant reporting and program evaluation.
Represent ACE and the Fair Housing Program at community meetings, partner events, coalition meetings, training, and other relevant forums.
Contribute to program planning, strategic initiatives, and organizational priorities that advance ACE's fair housing and environmental justice goals.
