Job Description Job Description ABOUT US At HR&A, we are problem solvers for cities. We guide decision-makers, including mayors and agency heads, real estate owners and developers, and non-profit leaders, to create impact when the stakes are high and the path forward isn't clear. We believe in creating vital places, building more equitable and resilient communities, and improving people's lives, from Los Angeles to Brooklyn. We come from diverse backgrounds, have a breadth of lived experience, and share a passion for cities. We are former public officials, executive directors, planners, social scientists, lawyers, architects, and economists. HR&A has offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, New York, Raleigh, and Washington D.C. THE PRACTICE The Housing Affordability Practice works at the state and community level to create and preserve homes that meet the needs of the community. We develop housing plans and strategies that address local housing needs and priorities. We design and implement solutions, from inclusionary zoning policies to affordable housing investment funds. And we underwrite and close housing transactions on behalf of mission-driven clients. This range of work, from planning to deal making, makes us better at designing policies and tools that work in practice. We enjoy understanding and working with the complexities of the housing market to advance the public good, in partnership with our clients. Plans: We create housing plans and strategies based on local needs and priorities. Most recently, we've created a housing plan that tackles affordability and climate resilience for Houston and Harris County and a regional strategy that responds to displacement challenges in Atlanta. Policies: We design and implement solutions, from inclusionary zoning policies to anti-displacement programs. We have studied the feasibility of office to residential conversions in Boston, social housing development in California, and rent control in New York. Transactions: We helped craft Amazon's Housing Fund, a $3.6 billion commitment to preserve existing housing and create inclusive developments through below-market loans and grants, and continue to serve as one of its underwriting partners. We also launched the $150 million Central New York Housing Fund, supporting over 2,500 new homes in the Syracuse region. Digital Tools: The Housing Affordability Practice developed HousingWeaver, a housing market analytics platform designed to help you understand your housing market, develop policies and programs to address the housing needs of your community and track the impact of those policies and programs over time. We have used it to set housing production goals for the State of Maine, evaluate the suitability of public land for affordable housing in the Puget Sound Region, and estimate the impact of changes in land use regulations Montgomery County, MD.
