Descrizione del lavoro

Assistant Property Manager
Chicago, IL
$50,000 – $60,000 / year + leasing incentives

OVERVIEW

An established affordable housing organization in Chicago is hiring two Assistant Property Managers for a scattered-site portfolio of 318 LIHTC and Section 8 townhome units across three Chicago neighborhoods. You'd join a team of one Property Manager and two Assistant Property Managers — this organization promotes from within, and the current APMs were promoted into their roles. This is your opportunity for growth!

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the resident recertification process — annual and interim recerts, home inspections, and follow-ups
• Run the leasing process: screen applicants, show units, prepare leases, process move-ins, and keep enough qualified applicants in the pipeline
• Work with the Property Manager on HUD subsidy processing, including monthly TRACS transmissions and fixing errors
• Prepare and follow up on special claims for vacant units
• Keep tenant files, rent rolls, inspections, and recertification paperwork compliant with funder and regulatory requirements
• Process unit transfers and lease additions for current residents
• Handle move-outs — inspections, damage documentation, and coordinating with maintenance on unit turns
• Flag non-payment, damage, complaints, and other issues to the Property Manager
• Sit on the Tenant Appeals Committee when needed

WHY YOU MATTER

Affordable housing only works if the paperwork is right and residents are treated well — recertifications on time, subsidy payments processed correctly, units turned fast. You're the one holding that together day to day.

WHAT IT TAKES

• 1-2 years of HUD, LIHTC, or Section 8 affordable housing experience
• At least a year processing recertifications and annual interims
• Working knowledge of HUD guidelines, auditing, and project-based voucher requirements
• Fair housing knowledge and genuine customer service/leasing experience
• OneSite or Yardi experience
• Able to get an Illinois Leasing Agent license within 90 days (training and license costs are covered)
• A valid driver's license, auto insurance, and a vehicle
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, not required
• LIHTC, COS, or similar certifications are a plus

THE PERKS!

• $50,000 – $60,000/year, plus a leasing incentive (currently $100 and an extra PTO day based on monthly performance)
• Medical (three plan options), dental, and vision coverage
• $25,000 of life insurance at no cost, plus long- and short-term disability
• 401(k) with company match
• PTO that grows with tenure — 15 days in years 1–2, up to 25 by year 4 — plus 12 holidays and a floating day
• Ongoing bi-weekly training on affordable housing topics
• Benefits begin after a 90-day probation period
