A rather sizable pair of shoes to fill, but by all means--If your expertise is poised to advance evidence-based policy solutions to homelessness at the local, state, and federal levels, we look forward to hearing from you as our beloved, Dr. Tiana Moore hands over the reigns!
After 2 amazing years at the UCSF Benioff Homelessness & Housing Initiative, I'm transitioning to another incredible opportunity in April (more to come soon about my new role!!). As I prepare to say farewell to an amazing team of colleagues, I'm so excited for BHHI to find its next Policy Director! The job posting is now active--please share with your networks. It's a great opportunity to lead the org's policy strategy and work with an incredible team of folks (including the truly incomparable Margot Kushel MD, Marisa Espinoza, MPA, and Robin Craig, MS). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
