About the role
Maintenance MechanicCommunity Access was founded in 1974 to provide housing and support for people being discharged from psychiatric institutions. Today, we are one of the leading providers of supportive and affordable housing in New York City, and the originators of an integrated housing model which has become a best practice nationally: affordable housing where families live alongside people living with mental health concerns. Our staff work daily to support thousands of New Yorkers through supportive and affordable housing, peer-driven residential crisis support programs, training, advocacy, supported education, mobile treatment and other healing-focused services.
The property management department acts as the managing agent for buildings that Community Access owns or controls; buildings for which CA has contracted to provide property management services; and individual apartments in other buildings that are part of CAs scattered site supportive housing programs. The property management department is responsible for lease maintenance, rent collection, property financial reports and compliance with government regulations.
Facilities management is an organizational function that ensures the comfort, functionality, and safety of the CAs premises to create a conducive living and working environment for everyone.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
