About FamilyAid
FamilyAid is Greater Boston's largest agency solely focused on helping children and parents avoid and overcome homelessness. Serving more than 5,000 family members annually, FamilyAid delivers a continuum of prevention, shelter, housing, and stabilization programs rooted in evidence-based solutions.

Aligned with the Aspen Institute's Two-Generational (2Gen) framework, FamilyAid builds family well-being by intentionally and simultaneously working with children and their caregivers. The 2Gen approach addresses housing, income, education, health, and family stability in tandem. This holistic model strengthens families, disrupts intergenerational cycles of poverty and housing instability, and builds economic prosperity that passes from one generation to the next.

The Opportunity

FamilyAid's Board of Directors is seeking their next President & CEO (CEO) to serve as the organization's strategic and operational leader. Reporting to the Board, the CEO will advance the organization's mission utilizing a 2Gen approach to working with families, lead a talented team, and amplify the agency's voice and influence in anti-poverty work. The CEO will guide the development and execution of appropriate strategic plans to ensure stability amid uncertainty and to lay the groundwork for continued growth.

As the public face of a nationally-recognized organization, the CEO will serve in a highly visible, mission-critical role, which will require a seasoned leader who brings vision, strategy, humility, operational rigor, and a deep equity orientation to the role.

Specifically, the CEO leads and manages an exceptional, seasoned, and high-functioning leadership team:

  • Support all constituents (staff, Board, partners, donors) in their ability to drive impact for families and children.

Philanthropy & Financial Leadership
  • Serve as primary external fundraiser, with support of the Chief Advancement Officer and development team, stewarding existing relationships and building new relationships to continue to grow private philanthropy.
  • In partnership with the Chief Advancement Officer, lead a $15M "For the Kids" fundraising campaign to expand FamilyAid's donor base.
  • Steward a $25M–$30M operating budget across 10+ public contracts and a fast-growing portfolio of private revenue.
  • Ensure strong fiscal management, forecasting, and reporting.

Mission Stewardship & Program Excellence
  • Champion FamilyAid's 2Gen model and ensure delivery of high-quality, trauma-informed services that achieve lasting stability for each family member.
  • Oversee program innovation, compliance, and community engagement strategies.
  • Guide cross-sector partnerships such as with Boston Public Schools, Boston Medical Center, CHIME (Child Homelessness Intercept Mapping and Engagement), and other key partnerships and coalitions.
  • Ensure continued growth in evaluation and learning systems to demonstrate impact.

Organizational Culture & People Leadership
  • Promote a values-driven, inclusive, high-performance culture that retains top talent and supports frontline staff.
  • Ensure FamilyAid is a workplace where dignity, safety, and collaboration are practiced every day.
  • Lead with clarity, transparency, and consistency.

Strategy & Governance
  • Lead the development and execution of strategic adaptive planning cycles aligned with FamilyAid's mission, values, and North Star.
  • Maintain an updated and clear-eyed understanding of public policy shifts, economic trends, and philanthropic landscapes.
  • Partner with the Board to drive governance excellence, strategic foresight, and organizational accountability.
  • Serve as an active Board member.

Public Leadership & Policy Advocacy
  • Influence public policies that expand support for children and families experiencing homelessness.
  • Represent FamilyAid as a trusted thought leader, advocate, and spokesperson in local, state, and national arenas.
  • Build and sustain high-impact relationships with elected officials, philanthropists, funders, media, and civic partners.

Credentials & Experience
