Join Our Team as a Property Manager at our Brand New Lafayette Community!

Are you an experienced affordable housing professional who thrives in mission-driven work? We're hiring a Property Manager to lead a brand new 54-unit affordable housing community, Lafayette, opening this spring as construction wraps up. This is a unique opportunity to help launch a community serving individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness-while leading a small, close-knit on-site team and making a meaningful impact from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Lead all day-to-day operations of a newly constructed affordable housing community

  • Oversee leasing, compliance, resident relations, and financial performance

  • Serve as the primary on-site leader for residents, partners, vendors, and internal teams

  • Build strong, respectful relationships with residents while maintaining firm boundaries and expectations

  • Coordinate with local agencies and service providers to support resident stability

  • Ensure compliance with LIHTC, HOME, and voucher program requirements

  • Manage budgets, rent collection, reporting, and variance tracking

  • Supervise and support a small on-site team

  • Maintain the physical and financial health of the community from lease-up through stabilization

What You Bring

  • Affordable housing experience, with strong LIHTC knowledge (HUD experience preferred)

  • Property management experience with operational and financial oversight

  • Ability to work confidently with vulnerable populations, including homeless or at-risk residents

  • Strong de-escalation skills, patience, and a resident-service mindset

  • Experience collaborating with housing authorities, counties, and service agencies

  • Lease-up experience preferred, but not required

  • Leadership experience supervising on-site staff

  • Comfort working independently while staying aligned with regional leadership

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $50,000-$55,000, based on experience

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 18 days of PTO and 11.5 paid holidays

  • 401(k) with 6% company match

  • Paid parental leave

  • Short- and long-term disability coverage

  • Lifestyle spending accounts and additional benefits

  • A mission-driven role with real impact and long-term growth opportunity

Gorman & Company is an Equal Employment Affirmative Action Employer.

If you're ready to lead a community with purpose, balance compassion with accountability, and help launch something meaningful from the ground up-we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.
