Marketing & Outreach Assistant - Affordable Housing

About the Company

Equal Access is partnering with a community-focused housing organization that manages income-restricted rental properties across New York City. Their mission is rooted in equity, access, and long-term neighborhood stability. This team doesn’t just rent apartments — they open doors to opportunity. As they continue to expand their outreach, they’re looking for a Marketing & Outreach Assistant to help amplify their impact.

We’re hiring a Marketing & Outreach Assistant to support efforts that connect people to affordable housing opportunities. This role is perfect for someone early in their career who wants to learn the ropes of housing outreach, marketing, and community engagement — and who brings strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a heart for equity.

You’ll be the behind-the-scenes engine that powers visibility — helping get the word out about housing lotteries, keeping listings updated, prepping materials for community events, and assisting applicants in navigating the process.
