-Build stakeholder capacity internally and externally.
-Research and develop a monitoring framework for tracking key housing indicators and measuring impacts of AHAP.

-Act as the major point of contact for a wide stakeholder spectrum, e.g., economic development agencies, non-profits, CMHC, and Housing NB.
-Create policies for programs, strategies and reports on relevant trends, progress, gaps, and opportunities using timely and relevant data, and make recommendations.
-Work with community partners to secure access to surplus and underutilized properties for the development of housing.
-Other related work, as assigned.
