• Portfolio Management: Oversee DPFC’s portfolio of mixed-income properties, ensuring long-term sustainability and compliance with affordability and contract requirements.
• Board Support: Prepare and present materials for Board meetings, including agendas, minutes, and detailed project reports.
• Financial Oversight: Collaborate with the Treasurer to manage DPFC’s finances, develop budgets, and maintain accurate financial records.
• Compliance & Reporting: Ensure adherence to both state-mandated and DPFC-specific affordability requirements, while tracking compliance with partnership agreements.
