We are looking for a Property Manager to oversee a 148-unit affordable housing community in Providence, RI. The property serves elderly and disabled residents and consists of multiple two- to three-story buildings. This is a layered Project-Based Section 8 and LIHTC community, so previous affordable housing and EIV experience is required.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is organized, resident-focused, and interested in continuing to learn and grow within our organization.

What You'll Do:

• Complete annual and interim recertifications, maintain EIV compliance, coordinate move-ins and move-outs, conduct unit/property inspections, and prepare documentation for audits and regulatory reviews.
• Oversee rent collections, delinquencies, evictions, resident concerns, apartment showings, and other occupancy-related responsibilities while providing compassionate and professional customer service.
• Manage administrative and financial responsibilities including invoice processing, required reporting, capital budget oversight, and payroll processing as needed.
• Coordinate property needs, capital projects, inspections, vendors, and day-to-day operational priorities while maintaining compliance with affordable housing requirements.
• Build positive relationships with elderly and disabled residents, address concerns calmly and professionally, and find practical solutions to day-to-day challenges.

What We're Looking For:

• Previous Property Manager or affordable housing management experience with Project-Based Section 8, HUD and/or LIHTC communities.
• Hands-on EIV experience and a strong understanding of affordable housing recertifications and compliance requirements.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines, reports, inspections, audits, and resident needs.
• Excellent customer service, communication, and problem-solving skills with a resident-first mindset, particularly when working with elderly and disabled populations.
• Experience with collections, delinquencies, evictions, invoice processing, budgeting, inspections, and general property operations.
• A dependable, organized professional who takes ownership of their community and is eager to learn, develop, and grow within the organization.

Compensation:

$70,000-$73,000 annually, based on experience.

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) with company match
