    Job DescriptionSummary About BRIDGE Housing

    BRIDGE Housing strengthens communities by developing, owning and managing high‐quality, affordable homes for working families and seniors. BRIDGE's portfolio of housing currently consists of 130 properties and 13,769 units throughout California, Washington& Oregon. Few housing development organizations have achieved the success and stature of BRIDGE Housing Corporation ("BRIDGE"). Founded in 1983 utilizing an anonymous donation, BRIDGE today has become a leading affordable housing development partner.

    BRIDGE has shown what can be done with clear vision, the right leadership and a strong base of support. BRIDGE has long been a national model for both production and innovation, bringing smart, sophisticated, comprehensive approaches to building communities. BRIDGE has a unique track record of successful development of transit oriented, mixed‐income apartments and mixed‐use developments bringing together partnerships to build not only housing but new shopping centers, parks, daycare centers, police and fire facilities, libraries, community spaces and job training centers that fit comfortably into their surroundings and also act as the catalyst for revitalizing and strengthening neighborhoods. One of BRIDGE's greatest assets is their team of professionals, who are highly skilled, energetic, motivated, and absolutely committed to the success of every development and the organization as a whole. The BRIDGE team, from the Board of Directors to each staff person, shares a passion for quality and possesses the business acumen to get the job done.

    BRIDGE is working today not only to expand housing opportunities for thousands of residents in California and the Pacific Northwest but also to produce innovative, multi‐dimensional developments that serve and establish communities and neighborhoods in diverse ways. The organization's core commitment to affordable housing remains steadfast, but its development expertise, creative funding strategies and bold ideas regarding education and training enable the organization to flourish. BRIDGE Housing closed on $100 million in Taxable Bonds, Series 2020 (Sustainability Bonds). BRIDGE will use bond proceeds for predevelopment, development and acquisition of multifamily housing that fit within its Sustainability Bond Framework of affordable housing, transit‐oriented development, green building and energy efficiency.

    In 2023, BRIDGE Housing's credit rating with S&P has received a significant boost from A+ to AA- with a stable outlook. The upgrade is a result of BRIDGE's leadership, strong financial performance, and an improvement in debt profile.
