Community Impact Coordinator/Resident Services
POAH Communities, Narragansett, Rhode Island, us, 02882
About Us
POAH Communities is a mission-driven organization managing over 13,000 affordable housing apartments. As part of the Preservation of Affordable Housing, Inc. family, our team of 500+ professionals believes that quality housing management goes beyond providing safe, comfortable homes; it's about creating environments where residents can thrive. Our commitment to excellence in affordable housing management serves as a foundation for resident success and community empowerment.
POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified individual to serve as a
Community Impact Coordinator for our Narragansett Properties . The Community Impact Coordinator will serve in a vitally important role as the liaison between the residents who live at our apartments and the POAH Communities Community Impact department. Beachwinds Apartments is a 104-unit affordable housing community consisting of two senior properties - Beachwood Apartments and South Winds Apartments - in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The properties were originally built in 1977 and comprise 4 buildings containing 94 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom apartments, rented to low and moderate-income seniors, and located on 5.1 acres. POAH acquired the properties in 2004 and POAH Communities has managed the property since then. Water’s Edge, located in picturesque Narragansett, Rhode Island, just blocks from the ocean beckoned to private developers as a potential site for market rate condos or luxury homes as the end of the 15-year rent restriction period loomed in the early 2000s. Fieldstone Apartments was built in 1970 and is located just three tenths of a mile from Point Judith Pond, a four-mile-long saltwater pond which opens to Point Judith Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. With its proximity to the seashore, this site would clearly have appeal to a market-rate developer but POAH was able to work with the town and state housing agency to preserve this family housing in 2007.
