ABOUT THE ROLE
POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified professional to serve as a Administrative Assistant to support the property management team. This individual will perform general clerical tasks, help manage the property management office, receive calls, take messages and route correspondence as well as contribute to small-scale projects. Springfield is the largest city in western Massachusetts and more than half of its residents experience a high housing cost burden, meaning they must devote more than 30% of their household resources to housing costs. Solidly built in 1943 as military housing, Bay Meadow was converted to affordable housing in the 1980s. With its 100% project-based rental assistance through the Section 8 program, the property represented an irreplaceable affordable housing asset. Sited on twelve acres quite near Interstate 291, Bay Meadow’s condition belies its age; it has been carefully maintained as an attractive campus with appealing landscaping, sizable children's play areas, a community center and an outdoor swimming pool.
