WE ARE HIRING!

At Idaho Housing and Finance Association, we’re on a statewide mission to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring across Idaho. As the designated administrator for multiple HUD grant programs, we channel critical resources to communities through competitive and formula grant programs, primarily focusing on homelessness throughout Idaho.

We’re seeking a strategic, detail-oriented Grant Coordinator to lead the fiscal, regulatory, and operational management of our Domestic Violence Bonus Grant. In this role, you’ll ensure the grant runs smoothly, empower our provider partners, and help shape strategies that maximize every dollar for those we serve.

• Manage end-to-end grant administration:
  Conduct threshold reviews, develop contracts/agreements, track budgets, process reimbursements, and oversee performance reporting.
• Monitor compliance & risk:
  Perform annual subrecipient risk assessments, support corrective actions, and ensure strict adherence to HUD standards and IHFA policies.
• Support policies & procedures:
  Help interpret and implement HUD guidelines and internal standards, assist with the development of clear process guides, and suggest practical improvements to streamline grant workflows.
• Provide partner support & training:
  Deliver technical assistance, create training materials, and help subrecipients navigate grant requirements and policy updates.
• Contribute to planning & reporting:
  Assist with the 5-Year Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans, and NOFA cycles; help track performance data to support program efficiency.
• Collaborate across teams:
  Work alongside internal teams and state/local partners to support daily operations and strengthen Idaho’s homelessness response system.
• Other job duties as assigned.

This role is about steady, purpose-driven execution. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team, help translate complex grant requirements into clear actions, and directly support the providers who are housing Idahoans experiencing homelessness. At our organization, we are dedicated to improving lives and strengthening Idaho communities. We believe that housing opportunities, self-sufficiency, and economic development are the pillars of progress. Join us and be part of a professional and mission-driven organization that makes a meaningful impact on the lives of Idahoans.
