Co-Executive Director of Administration

Community Home Repair Projects of Arizona (CHRPA) is a non-profit organization providing emergency home repairs for low-income homeowners in Tucson and Pima County for over 40 years. These services are grant-funded and provided free of charge to clients. http://www.chrpaz.org/index.html. Please visit the CHRPA Facebook Page or Instagram: @communityhomerepairaz for more information.

CHRPA’s mission is to create safer places to live by addressing health and safety concerns with efficient home repairs and adaptations to support long-term housing solutions for homeowners

and their families. Staff and volunteers serve one person at a time–safeguarding diverse, multi-generational communities household by household.

CHRPA’s work, both internally and externally, is guided by core values of communication, resourcefulness, dignity, service, compassion, empowerment, creativity, equity, sustainability, accessibility, respect, collaboration, and community. At CHRPA, people are at the center of why we do the work we do.

The diversity of CHRPA’s staff helps to strengthen the Tucson community by expanding the expectation of who can be successful in trades and service work. CHRPA has made measurable strides in shifting a formerly male-dominated organization in a male-dominated industry into a more inclusive and gender diverse workplace. We continue to strive for equitable representation in gender, age, race and ethnicity. The diversity of CHRPA’s staff strives to be appropriately reflective of the communities we serve. With the retirement of our long-time executive director, the Board of Directors took the opportunity to look at other models of leadership. With staff and other stakeholder support, we adopted a co-executive director model to align with the collaborative culture of CHRPA.

The CHRPA Board is seeking a Co-Executive Director of Administration who will work in equal partnership with the Co-Executive Director of Operations to cultivate and maintain organizational culture, priorities, and public presence, aligned with CHRPA’s core values.
