These efforts help ensure that vulnerable populations can secure stable, decent housing with supportive services available to meet their unique needs.

The role of Assistant Property Manager at Housing Connect is a vital position within this mission-driven organization. The Assistant Property Manager works closely with the Property Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of multiple affordable housing properties. This includes ensuring compliance with all funding and agency requirements, executing lease agreements, handling rent collections, coordinating property maintenance, and working directly with tenants to resolve issues or answer inquiries. In cases of the Property Manager's absence, the Assistant assumes full responsibility for the property's operations, acting as the key liaison between residents, the organization, and external service providers.

This full-time role operates on an 8-hour daytime shift from Monday to Friday, paying between $22.00 and $24.00 per hour.

The job requires a proactive, organized approach to managing tenant files, processing lease renewals and interim adjustments, and preparing reports related to rents, deposits, and lease compliance.

Housing Connect values professionalism, communication skills, and a commitment to providing dignified, affordable housing. The role demands familiarity with affordable housing regulations, especially concerning low-income tax credit compliance, public housing programs, and tenant rights. The Assistant Property Manager also plays a role in managing lease violations, eviction proceedings, and ensuring that community policies are consistently upheld. On top of administrative duties, this person actively contributes to maintaining the physical upkeep of properties, performing regular inspections, addressing maintenance requests, and ensuring vacant units are secured and properly reported.

This position offers a supportive work environment with benefits including health insurance, dental and vision coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, and other employee assistance programs.
