Nonprofit Project Manager in Affordable Housing

About FFAH

The Foundation for Affordable Housing is a 501c3 nonprofit affordable housing developer committed to creating high-quality, affordable homes across the Western United States. We develop, finance, and manage apartment communities that serve low- and moderate-income families and seniors.
