Ms. Almodovar’s new gig comes as her husband, Eric Dinallo, is gearing up for a potential run for attorney general (a vacancy there, of course, is not yet official).

Ms. Almodovar’s departure last month was followed by Deborah VanAmerongen, the state’s top affordable housing official. Like Ms. Almodovar, she went to the private sector.
