Fresno Housing develops and manages affordable housing across the County and equips residents with services to access economic opportunity. The FUSE Executive Fellow will strengthen residents’ economic mobility by embedding evidence-based, outcome-driven programs and practices into Fresno Housing’s work. As a result, front-line workers and affordable housing residents will feel empowered to develop strategies to pursue education or training and grow their incomes while preserving benefits until they are ready to move to new homes.
Starting in November 2025, the FUSE Executive Fellow will develop deep relationships with a broad range of stakeholders, including affiliated partners (e.g., Beyond Housing), community partners (e.g., workforce development and service organizations), and affordable housing residents. The Executive Fellow will seek to understand the resources, opportunities, and aspirations these partners have for affordable housing and economic opportunity in Fresno County. In addition, the Executive Fellow will review best practices for promoting economic opportunity in affordable housing communities similar to those in Fresno. Finally, the Executive Fellow will work with their Executive Sponsor and Project Supervisor to develop and approve specific project goals and deliverables. While these goals and deliverables will likely include the ones listed below, they may differ based on situational changes and the Executive Fellow’s specific skills and experience.
