ABOUT THE ROLE  POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified individual to serve as Maintenance Technician for Mattie Butler Apartments. This individual will be a bright and dynamic leader with hands-on experience. POAH purchased Eddie Mae and Alex Johnson Apartments (64 units) and Butler Lindon Apartments (42 units) from longtime community-based non-profit Woodlawn East Community and Neighbors (WECAN) in October 2017. Both are vintage apartment hotels that had fallen into disrepair in the mid-late 1990s, which WECAN renovated as much-needed affordable housing with supportive services. POAH acquired the properties in order to preserve WECAN’s housing legacy and invest in much-needed renovations in order to keep the buildings affordable for the long term, while continuing to provide high-quality supports to help keep residents stably housed and able to achieve their goals.  The buildings are located only a few blocks west of the Obama Presidential Center site, and so it was important to the neighborhood and community organizations to continue to provide this much needed housing.   Mattie Butler Apartments   ABOUT YOUR IMPACT Insuring a safe, secure and comfortable living environment for residents, visitors and staff.
