Are you skilled at helping people understand complex issues and how those issues affect them? If so, you might be perfect to be Greater Greater Washington's Housing Program Manager.

Draft educational and advocacy materials (e.g. fact sheets, blog posts, call-to-action emails, social media, etc.) to support program goals
Coordinate and manage volunteers to support program goals
