Interfaith Housing Alliance, Inc. (IHA) is seeking volunteer board members that help IHA carry out its mission of strengthening communities by providing affordable housing opportunities and supportive services to improve the quality of life and economic stability for seniors, working families and individuals.
IHA is a community housing development organization. As such, we are committed to having one third of our board representation be low to moderate income individuals. Applicants may reside in any county we serve in Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Carroll, Ann Arundel, and Montgomery counties in Maryland and Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
IHA’s volunteer board members make up the governing body of the organization. They support our mission and affordable housing programming by participating in board and committee meetings, introducing IHA to new partners, donors, and stakeholders. This governance board meets virtually, one time per month; the monthly time commitment is two to four hours.
Interfaith Housing Alliance is looking for board members with diverse backgrounds so we can better address the full community we serve. This includes persons of color, persons of any (adult) age group, persons of diverse racial, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic backgrounds. Individuals with lived experience in low-income housing encouraged to apply.
