The North Carolina Justice Center (NC Justice Center) is a progressive research and advocacy organization dedicated to expanding opportunity and protecting the rights of individuals with low-income in North Carolina. The Housing Equity Specialist will enhance the NC Justice Center’s capacity to conduct research and shed light on barriers to safe, affordable housing for people living with low incomes in North Carolina, and play a leading role in advancing a campaign for policy reform around these issues. The Specialist will have the opportunity to explore creative ways to gather and synthesize information about how tenant screening is conducted in this state, engage in ethical story gathering and storytelling, inform the public and decision makers about the scope of the problem, and use their research to support coalitions of tenant organizers, justice-impacted people and state partners advocating for fair chance and progressive housing policies.
