CLF’s HRC program works in partnership with communities, civic leaders, universities, and impact investors to advance CLF’s mission and create lasting change on the ground. Staff in HRC bring expertise in law, planning, policy, research, and finance to the most urgent challenges facing New England, from climate change to disinvestment and displacement. Together with our partners, we have built the largest participatory action research study in the country focused on health and place; launched three impact investment funds for healthy neighborhoods totaling $85 million; produced more than 500 units of workforce housing; connected 800 New England farmers and food entrepreneurs with pro bono legal support; and successfully advocated for more equitable, inclusive, and climate-resilient development.
This is an exciting opportunity to set policy direction and priorities consistent with the organization’s Strategic Plan and our goals focused on Healthy and Resilient Communities. Through your top-level management skills, and keen knowledge of law, public health, urban planning, research and/or impact investing, you will guide your 23+ member team toward a variety of climate resilience and community health solutions across New England. Your role will also ensure that HRC team members are focused on the most strategic use of law, policy, science, and markets to maximize CLF’s impact.
