About The Role

POAH Communities is seeking a qualified individual to serve as Assistant Property Manager. 8330 On the River is a high-rise building located on the banks of the Detroit River across from Belle Isle and includes 280 apartments affordable to low-income elderly residents. The building was originally offered in a portfolio with five others, all nearing expiration of their Section 236 rent restrictions. It was against this backdrop that POAH and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) pursued the opportunity to maintain affordability when 8330 On the River became available in 2003.
