ABOUT THE ROLE

POAH Communities is seeking an individual to serve as Leasing Assistant for 920 On the Park. This individual will report to the Property Manager. POAH acquired 920 On the Park, a 297-unit subsidized senior housing community for persons 62 years and older and those with mobility impairments, in 2003. It is located about 20 miles from downtown Detroit in Troy, an attractive suburban community known for its good schools, safe streets, many parks, and low property taxes. POAH used a forward-looking Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) program which targets funds to assist nonprofit owners in preserving properties such as 920 On the Park rather than allowing them to be sold on the open market.
