ABOUT THE ROLE POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified individual to serve as Maintenance Technician . This individual will be a bright and dynamic leader with hands-on experience. On the north shore of Massachusetts, the Fairweathers (321 units) comprise properties in four locations: Beverly, Danvers, Peabody and Salem. In the overheated real estate market of 2005-2006, there was great concern that the Fairweathers, built with HUD funds in 1968 as affordable housing for the elderly, could be converted to market rents or even condominiums. In collaboration with its funders, POAH developed an innovative financing plan which allowed purchase and preservation of the four Fairweather sites. The complex package combined public and private sources, including new mortgages held by MassHousing, equity proceeds from the syndication of low income housing tax credits, continuation of the Section 236 Interest Reduction Payments (IRP) and modest rent increases consistent with current area fair market rents for non-subsidized units.
