POAH Communities is seeking a qualified individual to serve as Assistant Property Manager for our Woodlawn Park Properties. The Washington at Woodlawn Park comprises sixteen vintage apartment buildings in the Woodlawn and Washington Park neighborhoods. In the aftermath of the real estate crash, POAH worked with the City of Chicago and Mercy Portfolio Services to invest HUD Neighborhood Stabilization Funds in the acquisition and renovation of eleven walk‑up buildings that were vacant and in disrepair.

The Community Investment Corporation provided construction and permanent financing and POAH worked with Elevate Energy to install solar thermal panels and other energy efficiency measures in the building. POAH acquired another five troubled buildings throughout the neighborhood in subsequent years and will refinance the 16‑building portfolio in 2017 to streamline financing costs, secure long‑term project‑based rental assistance, capitalize repairs, and invest further in the quality of life and curb appeal at the buildings.
