Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) is seeking a Homeownership Director to serve as a key member of the agency’s leadership team. This role leads the strategy, implementation, and overall performance of VHFA’s homeownership programs and serves as the Agency’s primary internal and external subject matter expert on homeownership policy and mortgage programs.
The ideal candidate brings experience working closely with a state Housing Finance Agency or a comparable public-sector or mission-driven mortgage organization, particularly in the design and administration of single‑family bond programs or HFA‑issued mortgage products. Strong knowledge of tax‑exempt bond financing, secondary market and investor requirements, and how these factors influence sustainable mortgage program design and long‑term portfolio performance is essential. Familiarity with federal and state housing laws and consumer protection frameworks—including fair lending, housing counseling standards, and mortgage compliance—is also highly valued.

Since 1974, VHFA’s mission is to finance and promote affordable, safe, and decent housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters. The Homeownership Director plays a critical role in advancing this mission by ensuring strong production results, sound financial management, regulatory compliance, and an excellent customer experience for homebuyers across the state.
