Role Description We are seeking detail-oriented Leasing Professionals with a mastery of Affordable Housing (LIHTC/HUD) programs.

• Recertification Management: Assist with annual and interim recertifications to ensure the property remains audit-ready and in good standing with state housing agencies or HUD.
• File Excellence: Maintain meticulous resident files. You understand that a "show-quality" property also includes an "audit-quality" filing cabinet.
• Regulatory Navigation: Respond to resident concerns with empathy while strictly adhering to Fair Housing, HUD, and Tax Credit guidelines.
• Administrative Accuracy: Utilize property management software (Yardi, OneSite, or Entrata) to track compliance milestones and generate monthly occupancy/compliance reports.

The Ideal Candidate

• Affordable Housing Experience: Minimum 1-2 years of experience with LIHTC (Section 42), HUD, or Section 8 programs (Required).
• Compliance Savvy: Strong understanding of Income Limits, Student Rules, and the third-party verification process.
• Technical Accuracy: Proven ability to manage complex paperwork with zero errors.
• Knowledge: Expert-level working knowledge of federal, state, and local Fair Housing Laws and regulations.
• Bonus Points: Industry certifications like COS (Certified Occupancy Specialist) are a major plus!
