City of Oakland, Department of Housing and Community Development – Oakland, CA

Fellows will work on one or more projects related to affordable housing funding, equity, and/or homelessness. Individual projects will be identified based on a combination of fellows’ interest/abilities and department need. Policy analysis and program design needs shift rapidly, so the following list should be viewed as indicative of the kind of projects a fellow might work on: 1) identifying and analyzing funding tools for the construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable housing, 2) exploring identifying rehabilitation needs and reinvestment opportunities for the City's existing affordable housing portfolio, 3) evaluating and providing recommendations on state and federal policy developments, 4) exploring opportunities for collaboration with other government agencies.
