Property Manager

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. Our commitment to excellence in affordable housing management serves as a foundation for resident success and community empowerment.

As Property Manager, you'll lead a dynamic team while ensuring our residents have a high-quality, affordable place to call home and access to programs that enhance their quality of life. Your work will directly impact individuals and families by maintaining the highest standards of property management while fostering inclusive communities. Jesse Jackson Jr Senior Housing (East), acquired by POAH from the YMCA of Metro Chicago in 2019, provides a vital source of quality affordable senior housing in a community that has seen more than its share of disinvestment over the past decades.

The properties are located on the former Dixie Square Mall Site – made famous by the Blue Brothers movie in 1980– in Chicago’s south suburbs and just off two major expressways.
