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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified individual to serve as Maintenance Technician. This individual will be a bright and dynamic leader with hands‑on experience. Aaron Briggs Manor is an 88‑unit senior housing property located in the West End of Providence, Rhode Island at the edge of the Federal Hill neighborhood. It is a valuable affordable housing resource for the City’s elderly population that was at risk of losing its affordability in 2015. At that time, POAH secured the bridge financing necessary to purchase it and pursue a long term refinancing execution.

POAH collaborated with Rhode Island Housing and the National Affordable Housing Trust to put together a financing package which included tax‑exempt bonds, federal low-income tax credit equity, and RI Housing Preservation and Production funds. Additionally, the City of Providence approved a tax reduction which has provided critical operational stability to the property.
