The Department of Planning and Development's Division of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) manages the City of Philadelphia's eviction prevention programs. These initiatives aim to help tenants maintain housing whenever possible, support the small landlords who provide much of the City's affordable units, and stabilize families and communities. DHCD's programs include the nationally recognized Eviction Diversion Program, which seeks to amicably resolve landlord-tenant issues, and the Philadelphia Eviction Prevention Project, which provides a range of services and resources, including free legal counsel. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge, impactful initiatives that have already achieved significant success. The Associate Program Manager will play a key role in improving program performance, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and providing essential support to program participants. This role includes coordination of activities, such as scheduling and note taking, as well as responsibilities in policy making, data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and reporting. The Associate Program Manager will also provide direct support to program participants - primarily landlords - in-person, by phone, and by email. This position may also work on broader DHCD initiatives, such as affordable housing preservation and disaster recovery efforts. Although much of the role involves supporting work led by others, the Associate Program Manager will have opportunities to take ownership of critical projects as their experience and capabilities allow. This role is ideal for candidates with backgrounds in policy work who want to make a direct impact or those with direct service experience who wish to drive systems change. We encourage applications from individuals with diverse experiences and perspectives who are hardworking, creative, and passionate about housing equity. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis with preference given to those received by July 25, 2025 . The position will remain open until filled.

Now in its 49th season, Opera Philadelphia stands at the forefront of innovation, redefining opera for our time. As the region's premier opera producer and one of the country's most influential companies, Opera Philadelphia continues to expand and transform as a vibrant hub for operatic experiences, connecting audiences and artists in ways that give voice to the present, reimagine the past, and shape the future of the art form for generations to come. Founded as a regional company focused on traditional productions in a single venue, Opera Philadelphia has evolved into an internationally celebrated trailblazer in contemporary opera. Praised by The New York Times as a "hotbed of operatic innovation," the company remains committed to 21st-century opera while actively performing in its original home at the historic Academy of Music. Opera Philadelphia also creates interdisciplinary experiences in diverse spaces across the city-from immersive performances at the Barnes Foundation and the Philadelphia Museum of Art to pop-up cabaret shows in converted garages, and free outdoor screenings on Independence Mall for tens of thousands of Philadelphians. While honoring the legacy of the operatic canon, Opera Philadelphia leads in developing groundbreaking new works. Since 2011, the company has commissioned or co-commissioned numerous acclaimed operas from prominent composers such as Jennifer Higdon, Missy Mazzoli, Kevin Puts, and Nico Muhly, fostering a new generation of operatic storytelling. Key partnerships, including a recent multi-year collaboration with the Apollo Theater, aim to co-create a new canon of Black American opera, underscoring Opera Philadelphia's commitment to authentic storytelling and creative diversity. In 2017, Opera Philadelphia positioned Philadelphia as an international opera destination with the launch of Festival O, a 10-day immersive celebration of opera across the city.
