Open Communities’ (OC) focus is protecting the human right to fair housing. OC works to eradicate housing discrimination and unjust practices that perpetuate segregation and inequity. The organization also fosters thriving, inclusive communities through fair housing enforcement, housing counseling, education, outreach, and advocacy. The Community Advocacy Manager (CAM) will join the Fair Housing Department to build and launch a robust, community-centered advocacy program to fuel OC’s housing justice campaigns. The CAM will strengthen connections to local community leaders and recruit neighborhood participants and volunteers to amplify voices and build coalitions working toward housing justice initiatives. The CAM will develop and manage this multifaceted community engagement, needs assessment, and advocacy mobilization project, impacting local housing rights and availability for more inclusive communities.
