Monica Watson

I am a leader in affordable housing policy and operations with over 6 years of experience at the Chicago Low Income Housing Trust Fund, serving in roles from Program Specialist to Interim Executive Director. My expertise includes stakeholder and landlord engagement, policy development, audit preparation, and data-driven operational management. Prior to the nonprofit sector, I spent 15+ years in shared services management at C, where I led teams, optimized processes, and ensured compliance across large operational programs. I combine strategic thinking with hands-on management, delivering sustainable solutions for both organizations and communities.
