Director of Property Management

Venice Community Housing (“VCH”), a community-based, nonprofit organization, supports and builds equitable and inclusive communities by providing affordable housing with supportive services, education, employment programs, and public policy advocacy that advances racial and economic justice. VCH believes that we must challenge the root causes of housing injustice and homelessness, and actively confront all forms of racism, in order to ensure equitable communities with access to healthy, safe, and affordable homes for all.

Currently, VCH owns and manages 340 units of affordable and supportive housing and is in a growth phase with over 500 units in predevelopment/construction stages. Our vision is that our compassionate approach to these solutions will serve as a model to other communities across the country.

The Director of Property and Asset Management is a senior leadership role responsible for the strategic oversight, performance, and long-term health of VCH’s entire affordable housing portfolio. The Director sets organizational standards, holds the team accountable for results, and serves as the primary escalation point for complex operational, financial, and regulatory issues.

Day-to-day execution is carried out by Regional Property and Asset Managers, who supervise Property Managers within their portfolios, by the Maintenance Supervisor, who manages maintenance operations across the portfolio, an Assistant Property and Asset Manager, and the Compliance Specialist. While the Director’s primary function is leadership and oversight, this position is expected to step in and perform hands‑on operational work directly when any position is vacant on their team, during periods of high volume, or when performance issues require direct intervention.

The Director is a member of the senior management team and reports to the Co-Executive Director.
