Job Description:
BHA is looking for five graduate students to be a part of our fellowship program!
The Housing Policy Fellowship is a part-time 16 week program focused on innovation, sustainability, and housing policy strategy.
The BHA envisions a strong, vibrant, and equitable city where every resident can thrive. We foster this vision by providing quality affordable housing, bringing stability, opportunity and peace of mind to thousands of low and moderate income families across the Greater Boston area.

These households include families with children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities that call BHA communities home.
The BHA Housing Policy Fellowship is a 16 week fellowship program for graduate students interested in developing, implementing, and advancing housing related policies that will positively impact the lives of public housing residents and Section 8 voucher holders. Five fellows will be part of BHA’s policy lab team and will be reporting directly to Dr. Taylor Cain, Chief of Staff, Dr. Nicholas Kelly, Director of Strategic Initiatives and Innovation, and Maya Harel, Assistant to the Chief of Staff, as well as other senior staff.
Weekly hours will vary between 15-20 hours per week, allowing for flexibility within current school schedule. Fellows are required to come in-person to our downtown Boston office on Thursday afternoons from 2:00-4:00pm for weekly check-ins.
