INHS later expanded into affordable rental housing production, lending, and property management. Our services have grown almost continuously since the early 1980s, as the affordable housing challenges in the region have increased, and our service area has expanded.

Today, INHS builds new affordable housing, renovates older homes, manages property, provides grants and low-interest loans for home purchase and renovation, counsels first-time homebuyers, and assists seniors with small home repairs.

Our new leader should have the following core qualifications:

  • Strong people management and internal communication skills

  • Experience in fundraising from a variety of sources
  • In depth understanding in at least one of the areas of affordable housing development, community development lending and CDFI compliance, property management, or asset management
  • A grounding in financial management and a comprehensive understanding of how to maintain INHS’s financial health
  • A minimum of ten years of relevant work experience, at least five of which will be at the senior management or Executive Director level, and
  • A Master’s degree in city planning, business, real estate, or a related field, or the equivalent in additional work and training experience is preferred.

INHS offers a competitive salary and benefits package which includes: 11 holidays, 4 weeks of vacation, contributions to a health plan and a SEP/IRA, as well as a 403b retirement plan. The salary range for this full-time position is $130,000-160,000, depending on qualifications and experience.

This is not a remote work position. The Executive Director is expected to both work and live in the region once they assume this position. For more information about INHS, see https://www.ithacanhs.org.
