DHA Begins Search for Next Chief Executive Officer

The Denver Housing Authority has begun the search for its next Chief Executive Officer (CEO), working with executive search firm ZRG Partners to identify a leader who will help guide DHA’s continued work serving residents and communities across Denver.

The search comes at an important time for DHA as the organization continues to develop and preserve affordable housing, strengthen neighborhoods, support residents and build partnerships throughout Denver. Today, DHA provides affordable housing and housing assistance to more than 26,000 very low-, low- and middle-income individuals representing more than 12,000 families.

Looking Ahead

DHA’s next CEO will work closely with the Board of Commissioners, staff, residents and community partners to advance the organization’s mission of developing and providing high-quality, affordable housing with responsive services that enable people and communities to thrive.

The role will provide strategic leadership across DHA while continuing the organization’s focus on resident empowerment, community partnerships, neighborhood revitalization and sustainable development. The next CEO will also help strengthen DHA’s relationships with local, state and federal partners and continue positioning DHA as a trusted partner in building and preserving affordable and mixed-income housing in Denver.

Community and resident engagement will remain an important part of that work. The search emphasizes a leader who can build strong relationships with residents and Resident Councils, support vibrant and healthy communities and create opportunities that help residents and neighborhoods thrive.

The Search Process

ZRG Partners has been retained by DHA to lead the recruitment process. Following initial outreach and interviews conducted by ZRG, candidates will be presented to DHA’s Board of Commissioners for consideration. Selected candidates will then advance through additional interviews with DHA leadership.

As the process moves forward, DHA will publicly share the finalist or finalists under consideration before final confirmation by the Board of Commissioners.

Candidates interested in the CEO position may submit their resume to DHACEO@zrgpartners.com by October 21, 2026, for first consideration. Recruitment will remain open until the position is filled.
