Are you an EBHO member who is passionate about housing justice? Are you looking for a way to increase your and EBHO’s impact? Do you want to learn more about EBHO, nonprofit governance, and the housing justice movement alongside a great group of colleagues? If so, then YOU may be a good fit for our Board of Directors!
EBHO is excited to invite members to apply to join our Board of Directors in 2026. The deadline to apply is Friday, September 5th, 2025 at 5:00 PM PT.
EBHO members will vote in the new Board members at our Annual Membership Meeting & Celebration on November 12th (save the date!).
About EBHO’s Board
A nonprofit Board of Directors is the governing body of an organization, and EBHO’s Board helps to determine our priorities and high-level strategy while holding the organization accountable to our goals.
For more information, read the Board expectations and commitments and watch the recording from our July 2024 Lunch & Learn where EBHO Board members shared their reasons for becoming members, why they wanted to join our Board, and some of the things they’ve worked on since becoming board members. We also talked about the role and importance of boards in nonprofit governance and how YOU can apply to become an EBHO Board member.
We will be holding a mandatory virtual orientation and Q&A session via Zoom on Tuesday, August 26th from 5:30 – 6:30 PM. Please email us at staff@ebho.org to RSVP to this info session or if you’re unable to make it but are interested in applying.
Who Should Apply?
We invite all active, dues-paying EBHO members to apply for the Board. (Please note: we do not accept applications from our current funding partners or sitting elected officials to avoid conflicts of interest.)

- Works/Lives in Contra Costa County
