at Epath

🏢 About Epath

PATH Enterprises, part of Epath, specializes in affordable and permanent supportive housing, focusing on community impact through stable housing solutions. The organization likely emphasizes social responsibility and supportive services alongside property management, making it appealing for those seeking meaningful work in the housing sector.

About This Role

As Site Manager for Flor 401, you'll oversee all on-site operations at a multi-family affordable housing property, managing everything from tenant relations and rent collection to financial reporting and emergency planning. This role directly impacts resident stability and property success, requiring a blend of property management expertise and social service sensitivity.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves morning rent collection and financial reporting, followed by tenant meetings to address concerns while maintaining supportive boundaries. Afternoons might include vendor coordination for maintenance, updating property management software records, and preparing for upcoming regulatory audits or occupancy reviews.

🎯 Who Epath Is Looking For

  • Has 2+ years of property management experience specifically in multi-family affordable or permanent supportive housing, not just general property management
  • Possesses strong analytical skills for financial reporting and budgeting, with attention to detail for regulatory compliance and audit preparation
  • Demonstrates ethical decision-making and professional boundaries when handling tenant issues, evictions, and confidential resident information
  • Holds a bachelor's degree in social work, business administration, or related field, with understanding of both property operations and supportive housing principles

📝 Tips for Applying to Epath

1

Quantify your experience with affordable housing metrics: mention specific occupancy rates, rent collection percentages, or regulatory compliance successes from previous roles

2

Highlight any experience with Property Management Software (like Yardi, RealPage, or AppFolio) since maintaining records in such systems is explicitly mentioned in the job description

3

Emphasize your experience developing emergency response plans for residential properties, as this is a specific responsibility listed

4

Demonstrate your understanding of the dual role: show how you've balanced property management duties with supportive housing principles in past positions

5

If you lack the preferred bachelor's degree, compensate by detailing relevant affordable housing certifications or extensive hands-on experience with permanent supportive housing populations

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with affordable or permanent supportive housing regulations and compliance requirements', 'Examples of successfully managing tenant relations in sensitive housing situations while maintaining professional boundaries', 'Demonstrated ability to handle both financial management (budgets, cash flow) and operational duties (vendor scheduling, maintenance) simultaneously', 'Your approach to creating supportive living environments while enforcing house rules and managing potential evictions']
