Housing Development Director

Reporting to Betsy McGovern-Garcia, Vice President, the Housing Development Director (Director) is responsible for all aspects of SHE’s housing development and finance (e.g., site acquisition, development entitlements, financial feasibility planning and implementation, securing capital).

The Real Estate Development Department is Self-Help Enterprise’s (SHE) primary financial driver, consistently generating over 60% of the organization’s revenue. Our developments serve a wide variety of populations, including members of tribal communities, seniors, farm workers, and residents of permanent supportive housing. SHE’s layers a variety of local, state and federal funding sources, including the New Markets Tax Credits, Capital Magnet Funds, and California Energy Commission EPIC energy innovation funds, among more traditional sources.

Self-Help Enterprises (SHE) is a nationally recognized community development organization whose mission is to work together with low-income families to build and sustain healthy homes and communities. An original pioneer and ongoing leading provider of mutual self-help housing in the United States, SHE incorporates multiple lines of business—multifamily and single-family housing development, housing counseling, single-family rehabilitation, climate resilience, and infrastructure development—to build better homes and communities for farmworkers and other hard-working families.
