About: Housing instability in the U.S. has reached historic levels. Across most metropolitan regions, housing costs have risen far faster than incomes, leaving millions of families cost-burdened and economically precarious. The country faces an estimated shortage of more than four million homes, while homelessness continues to rise, and more than 10 million Americans face eviction each year. The impacts of this crisis are deeply unequal.

Black and Latino households—especially families with young children—face disproportionately high rates of eviction and housing instability, and the racial home ownership gap is the largest since the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968.

The U.S. does not lack ideas for solving this problem—it lacks a coordinated capacity to identify the most promising solutions, refine them through implementation and public debate, and drive their adoption  America’s Future of Land and Housing program is building that capacity. We operate at the intersection of research, policy, and implementation—clarifying ideas through research and convening power, supporting local leaders to test and refine them on the ground, and translating field-based lessons into broader systems and policy change.

Primary Function: This position primarily supports the Eviction Data Response Network (EDRN), a groundbreaking initiative to create the country’s first large-scale eviction data infrastructure and use that data to keep more families stably housed. EDRN supports 11 state-level partners with technical assistance, financial support, and peer-to-peer learning to:

• Build durable eviction data pipelines that provide reliable, comprehensive, and regularly updated data on evictions statewide; and
• Stand up multi-sector problem-solving teams that use that data to craft policy and practice interventions that measurably reduce evictions.

This position will serve as the primary liaison between New America’s FLH team and six state-level teams – Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Maryland – as they work to accomplish these goals.

The ideal candidate is passionate about implementation of large scale change efforts, particularly for housing stability, with experience in coaching partners and supporting learning networks. Familiarity with court eviction data, eviction processes and housing stability are preferred. The candidate should be a self-starter and a good multi-tasker, and capable of working in a fast paced environment on a small, agile team, acting as a primary liaison between the state stakeholders in the EDRN and our team.

The candidate should thrive on celebrating wins, driving towards improvement, and actionable follow-ups, acting as a coach to bring out the best in our EDRN cohort.

Responsibilities:

• This position will be primarily focused on supporting the Eviction Data Response Network (EDRN) cohort of state partners, including but not limited to:
  • Serving as the primary liaison between New America’s FLH team and six EDRN state partners, responsible for adeptly guiding them through their aims and milestones
  • Duties will include structuring and executing monthly 1-1 coaching meetings, convening quarterly cohort calls, planning virtual and annual in-person partner convenings;
  • Driving strategy and progress towards EDRN goals with state partners by ensuring project scopes, timelines and work plans are always up to date for relevant projects and assignments;
  • Developing knowledge and policy products based on EDRN experiences, creating a feedback loop to enhance cohort experience while making connections between states and national technical assistance;
  • Troubleshoot data-related barriers, including…
