Leasing Consultant - (Springfield, MA)

Overview Affordable housing laid the foundation of Related Companies and we continue to place a high priority on developing, acquiring and preserving housing for this sector. In fact, over 60% of our 50,000 residential apartment homes under our management are part of 1 or more affordable housing programs, and an additional 20% of these homes provide workforce housing. In the area of acquisitions and refinancing, we pursue properties that meet 1 of the following criteria: Section eight properties with project-based contracts; Section 236 properties in need of rehabilitation; Section 42 LIHTC properties with expiring low-income restrictions; Section 515 FmHA properties with loans that can be prepaid; or other assisted properties, including HODAG, HOME, federal or state-financed public housing. Many of the buildings we encounter are in need of substantial upgrading and preservation in order to continue to properly fulfill the needs of their tenants.
