Senior Vice President of Housing Development

Be a catalyst for lasting impact in affordable housing. Catholic Charities of Central Colorado is embarking on a long‑term mission to increase the availability of safe, stable, and affordable homes — and we’re seeking a visionary leader to help bring this vision to life. As our inaugural Senior Vice President of Housing Development, you’ll lead transformative projects across a 10‑county region.

This is a unique opportunity to combine strategic leadership, development expertise, meaningful community impact, and a deep commitment to human dignity.

The Senior Vice President of Housing Development will lead the strategic advancement and execution of Catholic Charities of Central Colorado and Catholic Housing Corporation’s 10‑Year Affordable Housing Plan. This newly created position is central to realizing the organization’s long‑term vision of addressing housing insecurity and expanding access to quality, affordable housing across a 10‑county region – fostering stable communities and promoting the dignity of every person.

Working closely with the CEO, executive team, board of directors, local governments, funders, and community partners, the VP will oversee the full spectrum of housing development—from land acquisition and pre‑development through construction, asset management, and resident services. The role will be instrumental in identifying and securing local partnerships with municipalities, nonprofits, and private entities that align with project goals and community needs, ensuring the agency remains proactive, innovative, and sustainable in housing development.

This leadership position is responsible for building internal capacity, cultivating strategic relationships, applying for and securing a variety of public and private funding sources, driving project execution, and ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local affordable housing regulations and funding mechanisms.

To ensure long‑term sustainability, the role includes clear first‑year performance expectations. These include advancing the ownership strategy for Villas at Southgate; securing early‑stage funding opportunities and project proformas; developing a pipeline of future housing developments; and establishing foundational systems and partnerships necessary for long‑term success.
