April Housing seeks to preserve critical affordable housing stock while providing best in class management and high-quality housing. April is committed to being a fair, transparent, and responsible owner.

April Housing’s long-term commitment to owning affordable housing is supported by Blackstone Funds, predominantly BREIT, a non-listed REIT. This perpetual capital vehicle provides April with a patient and flexible source of capital and plays a critical role in enabling the creation and preservation of more affordable housing. In addition to managing a growing portfolio, April Housing will ensure assets in the existing portfolio remain affordable and in compliance with all rent regulations while making significant improvements and aligning the operations with April Housing's Standards of Excellence in Residential Operations.

In its pursuit of excellence, April Housing is looking for individuals who share in its mission to provide high-quality housing to affordable residents.

The Assistant Project Manager (APM) supports the planning, coordination, and execution of affordable housing development and rehabilitation projects. Working closely with project managers, developers, and stakeholders, the APM ensures projects stay on schedule, within budget, and comply with all regulatory requirements. This role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of affordable housing programs, financing, and construction processes.

At April Housing, we are committed to a singular mission: providing best-in-class management and high-quality housing for residents who earn less than the area’s median income. You will be joining a dedicated team who live this mission every day.

And we’re growing! “April,” which means “to open,” aligns with our goal of opening new paths to expand the supply of affordable housing and close America’s affordability gap.
