Baird + Driskell Community Planning is seeking a motivated associate to help with a variety of policy and planning projects in the Bay Area. Work will average 30-40 hours per week. Much of our work involves policies that promote affordable housing. Specifically, the work involves assisting with several exciting housing policy projects, including providing technical assistance and facilitation on new state housing laws, promoting Accessory Dwelling Units, and inclusionary zoning. The associate will assist with research, writing and compiling informational materials, as well as providing general assistance. Typical activities might be to assemble materials about best practices or to prepare for public participation and outreach meetings.

Initially, the associate will work closely with the principals at Baird + Driskell to learn about housing policy and planning in California, but eventually will be expected to undertake much of the work independently. The associate will work out of our Berkeley office 1-2 days per week, and will otherwise work remotely. The work schedule is somewhat flexible, and the associate will be able to schedule some work time as them see fit (some evening work is fine).
