JOB SUMMARY
Habitat for Humanity International seeks a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEAL) Specialist to support and advance the Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter's work with small and growing businesses. The purpose of the Terwilliger Center is and always has been to influence market actors – i.e., private companies, public officials, civil society, consumers, and households – to change attitudes, behaviors, policies, business models, and products and services in ways that lead to scalable affordable housing solutions.
