Director Of Resident Services

2LIFE COMMUNITIES
Newton, MA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/25/2026

2Life Communities provides superior housing to older adults of all backgrounds who can thrive

independently within a supportive environment. We are a mission-driven organization with a vision whereby

all older adults have the opportunity to age in community – to live a full life of connection and purpose in a

dynamic and supportive environment. We are continually evolving support services to meet the needs of

our diverse residents as they age. We offer care coordination, service coordination, and a wide array of

wellness, cultural, and other activities. We partner with health care providers to identify innovative ways to

support residents' health and well-being, and we engage with the broader community through our Village

Center program.

2Life owns and operates over 1,300 units of affordable rental housing located within six campuses in

metropolitan Boston. With another 210 apartments under construction and more in planning, we expect to

add another 600-700 units within the next several years as we complete projects in operational planning

and construction phases. We continue to pursue other development opportunities. We anticipate continued

growth in the size of our portfolio, the geography in which we operate, and the diversity of our residents in

terms of race, ethnicity, income levels, and need for supportive services.
