Loan Officer

Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) is seeking a Loan Officer to help finance affordable and mixed‑income commercial multifamily housing across the Commonwealth. In this role, you will play a direct role in bringing high quality housing projects to life through underwriting, structuring, and closing complex permanent loans that support new construction, substantial rehabilitation, and refinancing.

You will work with a wide range of financing tools, including private bank loans, Fannie Mae affordable housing products, FHA Risk Share, and HUD MAP financings. Our borrowers include nonprofit and for‑profit developers of all sizes, and our portfolio spans family housing, senior housing, single‑room occupancy properties, and housing serving special‑needs populations.

This role owns a pipeline of transactions and works closely with internal partners and senior leadership to move deals forward efficiently and collaboratively. Depending on the portfolio, the Loan Officer may also underwrite working capital lines of credit.

Beyond closing loans, this position contributes to MHP’s broader impact through strong borrower relationships, thoughtful input into lending policies and programs, and engagement with industry partners.

From underwriting and credit analysis to closing complex transactions and collaborating with internal and external partners, each day brings a mix of responsibilities that keep the work engaging and purposeful.
