POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified individual to serve as Maintenance Supervisor
. This individual will be a bright and dynamic leader with hands‑on experience and the demonstrated ability to successfully manage staff and oversee day‑to‑day operations. POAH purchased Eddie Mae and Alex Johnson Apartments (64 units) and Butler Lindon Apartments (42 units) from longtime community‑based non‑profit Woodlawn East Community and Neighbors (WECAN) in October 2017. Both are vintage apartment hotels that had fallen into disrepair in the mid‑late 1990s, which WECAN renovated as much‑needed affordable housing with supportive services.

POAH acquired the properties in order to preserve WECAN’s housing legacy and invest in much‑needed renovations in order to keep the buildings affordable for the long term, while continuing to provide high‑quality supports to help keep residents stably housed and able to achieve their goals. The buildings are located only a few blocks west of the Obama Presidential Center site.
