The mission of the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH) is to foster healthy, vibrant, and welcoming communities for all by ensuring stable, green, accessible housing and sustainable use of land. MOH oversees programs that create and preserve affordable housing, support homeowners and renters, provide housing and services to homeless individuals and families, and develop city-owned property. MOH seeks to carry out its mission through a lens of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion and addressing the effects of systemic racism in our City.
The Policy Development and Research Division of the Mayor’s Office of Housing supports the department by preparing essential plans and reports required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The division plays a key role in developing programs and policies, assisting with grant writing, and providing research analysis, mapping, and data services. Additionally, it oversees the citizen participation process for Boston’s annual grant allocations from HUD, ensuring that public input is incorporated into the City's housing strategy. Through its work, the division helps shape effective housing policies and programs for Boston’s residents.
Under the direct supervision of the Data Manager in the Policy Development and Research division, the Senior Data & Policy Analyst is responsible for data-driven policy development, research, and analysis to support the City of Boston's housing and community development programs.
This role is an exciting opportunity for a passionate analyst to dramatically impact the lives of people in Boston. It is challenging work that requires the ability to manage multiple priority projects simultaneously, explore new data capture and analysis methods, and represent results in a compelling manner. In particular, the Senior Data & Policy Analyst will work with MOH senior staff and housing leaders to creatively utilize data to assess our existing programs and help frame new policy proposals to ensure the affordability of housing in Boston in the decades to come.
