Start Date: August 17th 2026

Location: Hybrid (Boise office and remote working)

LEAP Housing is a Boise-based 501c3 non-profit that is dedicated to developing and preserving affordable housing in Idaho. Our vision is to see communities transformed by hope, connection, and stable housing. To help address the housing affordability crisis, LEAP created the LEAP Housing Impact Fund (LHIF), a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that deploys capital for the sake of affordable workforce and community housing development.

This role reports directly to the CEO and serves as a key strategic partner in growing the Fund. LEAP seeks to hire a highly organized, computer savvy individual with a strong background in housing finance or development, and the financial acumen to underwrite loans, discuss loan structures, lending metrics and actively support fund growth.

In the first six months, this role will focus heavily on foundational administrative work — organizing and streamlining existing loan files, processes, and compliance systems — before transitioning into a greater growth and underwriting capacity as those fundamentals are solidified.
