Matt has a passion for providing leadership coaching to other nonprofit professionals, especially entry-level affordable housing developers. In 2015, Matt joined the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California Board of Directors and committed to working with member organizations to launch the Bay Area Housing Internship Program (BAHIP), which aims to recruit and train the next generation

From 2017 through mid-2019, he oversaw all aspects of setting up and managing BAHIP and assisted NPH with securing ongoing funding support, which now includes the San Francisco Foundation and Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.
