Part-Time Affordable Housing Compliance Specialist
Remote | Part-Time (Approximately 15 hours/week)
Who We Are
FinePoint Associates, LLC is a Massachusetts-based consulting firm specializing in affordable housing compliance and economic development. Our practice provides specialized technical services to public agencies, nonprofits, real estate firms, and others. FinePoint’s affordable housing team conducts compliance monitoring of rental housing portfolios to ensure the requirements associated with each financing source are being met. Our clients include city, county and state agencies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island that administer federal HOME and Housing Trust Fund (HTF) programs, as well as a range of state bond fund financing (HIF, HSF, TOD, CIPF, CBH, FCF, AHTF, and others).
Position Summary
The Affordable Housing Compliance Specialist reviews information provided by property managers to ensure the correct number of units are affordable and being rented to households within targeted income levels, that appropriate income-certification documentation is in place, and other requirements related to leasing, tenant selection, and financial reporting are being met. The role also entails general administrative and operational support tasks. It does not involve conducting on-site inspections.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking a flexible, part-time schedule who enjoys working remotely. The ideal candidate has familiarity with affordable housing, compliance monitoring, and income documentation procedures. They are highly organized, detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and self-directed, with strong time management ability.
FinePoint offers a collaborative, flexible work environment and the opportunity to contribute to work that matters — helping ensure that affordable homes remain available to the low- and moderate income households who need them. This is a great fit for someone who wants substantive, mission connected work on a schedule that fits their life.
