Housing policy specialist

Housing policy specialists develop and analyse policies to address housing needs and affordability. The work involves researching housing markets and needs, modelling policy options, drafting policy and programs, consulting stakeholders, and advising decision-makers on a politically charged and high-stakes issue.

They work for government agencies, nonprofits, and research bodies. The role suits analytically strong, committed people who can combine rigorous analysis with political and practical awareness, navigate competing interests, and develop workable policies for one of the most pressing problems many communities face.
