Job Description Summary Since the foreclosure crisis in 2008, Cleveland has the been the epicenter of blighted properties, high mortgage, and tax foreclosure rates. The loss of homeownership, continuing tax foreclosures, and widespread reports of unsafe and unaffordable rental housing spurred efforts to enable more low-income households to become homeowners. In Cleveland, there is a growing recognition of the harm caused by these foreclosures, both to the homeowners, tenants and to the city's neighborhoods, in the form of increased vacancies and declining property conditions and values. Enterprise is launching a new initiative aimed at giving tenants of tax forfeited properties the opportunity to buy their homes, with a comprehensive approach to ensure that these tenants sustain homeownership. This homeownership support includes funding for critical home repairs and help coordinating these repairs. Homeownership is considered the American Dream and is the biggest contributor to personal wealth creation. However, neighborhoods across Cleveland continue to struggle with disrepair, leading to low home values and exacerbating housing instability and risk of displacement. In response to this great need, we are launching Make it Home Cleveland (MIH Cleveland). MIH Cleveland aims to holistically address housing instability by leveraging multiple resources to provide opportunities for BIPOC communities to attain homeownership and generational wealth and deliver integrated home repairs and maximize impact. The Senior Program Officer for the "Make It Home" program will play a pivotal role in leading the day-to-day management and execution of this innovative homeownership initiative. This position demands a dynamic, results-driven individual capable of navigating complex stakeholder environments and making tactical decisions to ensure the program's success. The Senior Program Officer will coordinate across multiple teams and partners to deliver on the program's objectives, fostering community development and enabling tenants to become successful homeowners.
