Within this regulatory framework, ensure program integrity by maintaining accurate digital and physical records and investigating suspected program fraud. Respond and follow agency grievance procedures related to participant complaints. Issue program violations, prepare for and participate in informal hearings when appropriate.
• Conduct regular unit inspections to document lease non-compliance and collaborate with maintenance staff to facilitate timely unit turnovers, preventative maintenance needs, and general property aesthetics to preserve the value of CDA rental assets.
• Engage residents to promote community by coordinating resident meetings and connecting households with resources-such as energy assistance, childcare, employment, and mental health supports-to promote long-term security, self-sufficiency, and housing stability.
• Manage deposit process, tenant charges and debt collection procedures. Work with Finance Department to collect payments and to complete CRP process.

• Provide excellent client service, which is responsive, considerate, and respects confidentiality while delivering quality public services and service experiences to clients.
• Apply a person-centered, stability-focused approach to case management, balancing the enforcement of agency and program rules with an understanding of the complex challenges facing diverse and low-income populations.
• Ability to use professional de-escalation and conflict resolution skills to maintain productive relationships and program integrity.
• Possess general knowledge of the principles, laws, and regulations pertaining to rental assistance programs, including federal/state guidelines and comprehensive knowledge of Minnesota Landlord-Tenant law and standard property management practices.
