TVLCLT is hiring an Executive Director.

TVCLT is a newly formed nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and preserving permanently affordable housing in the Chattanooga region and throughout the Tennessee Valley. Through the Community Land Trust model, TVCLT will acquire and steward land to ensure long-term housing affordability, community stability, and pathways to homeownership for working families.

As a start-up organization, TVCLT will initially operate with a small staff and a hands-on board of directors. A partnership with Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise (CNE), Chattanooga in Action, Love, Equity, and Benevolence (CALEB), and consultants Grounded Solutions Network (GSN) will provide administrative, community engagement and stewardship support.

The founding Executive Director will play a critical role in building the organization, establishing partnerships, launching development projects, and positioning TVCLT as a regional leader in permanently affordable housing.

The Executive Director will serve as the founding leader of TVCLT, responsible for building the organization’s partnerships and housing portfolio while working closely with the Board of Directors to set strategy and ensure financial and operational sustainability. In this highly entrepreneurial, development-focused role, the Executive Director will identify and advance real estate opportunities, secure funding, and establish the systems and relationships needed to grow the organization’s impact. The ideal candidate is a mission-driven leader with experience in affordable housing, nonprofit leadership, community development, and/or community land trusts who is excited to launch a new organization and expand permanently affordable housing opportunities across the Tennessee Valley.
