Job description

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a AlphaGov) delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks.

We are building a team for countywide housing plans and housing needs assessments in the Atlanta metro and the Southeast. We are looking for housing and community planners who know the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) planning environment and can lead engagement in Spanish and English, plus specialists in fair housing and homelessness response systems.

What you'll do

• - Plan and facilitate multilingual (Spanish-English) public meetings, pop-up events, focus groups and stakeholder interviews for county and city housing plans
• - Apply ARC Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) and Asset-Based Community Development practices, and coordinate with ARC staff and community-based organizations
• - Analyze fair housing conditions, such as segregation and opportunity mapping and zoning barriers, and draft equity-driven housing strategies and indicators
• - Help design emergency and transitional housing frameworks and referral pathways with Continuum of Care partners
• - Translate and adapt surveys and public materials and review them for plain language and cultural fit
• - Draft sections of housing needs assessments, strategic housing plans and implementation matrices

Required:

• 5+ years in housing planning, community development, urban planning or community engagement for public agencies
• Experience on at least one housing study, housing plan, consolidated plan or comprehensive plan
• Professional fluency in Spanish and English (spoken and written), or a deep fair-housing or homelessness-systems specialty
• Experience facilitating public meetings with diverse and underserved communities
• Ability to travel occasionally to client sites in the Atlanta metro area

Nice to have:

• Work with the Atlanta Regional Commission, Georgia DCA or an Atlanta-metro county or city
• AICP certification
• Experience with AFFH, Analysis of Impediments or HUD fair housing planning
• Continuum of Care, HMIS or coordinated entry experience
• GIS and data visualization (ArcGIS, Tableau or Power BI)
