Resident Relations Manager

Abode, one of the largest and effective nonprofits working to end homelessness in the Bay Area, is seeking a Resident Relations Manager for our programs in Alameda County.

The Resident Relations Manager (RRM) is responsible for fostering a safe, stable, and supportive living environment for residents in permanent supportive housing communities. The RRM role centers on property curb appeal, maintenance and janitorial oversight, resident engagement, housing retention support, habitability oversight, conflict resolution, vendor and invoice management, and coordination with service providers. The RRM conducts proactive site walkthroughs, supports residents with tenancy-sustaining interventions, escalates compliance or safety concerns, and partners closely with onsite maintenance staff, vendors, and service providers to ensure a well-maintained community. The RRM does not directly handle any technical functions such as leasing certifications, waitlist management, recertifications, rent collection, rent ledger management, or regulatory compliance, which are managed centrally by APM's Central Operations Team.

You will be surrounded by some of the most talented, supportive, smart, and kind leaders and teams - people you can be proud to work with! Abode Services regularly recognizes employees' efforts, seeks employees' input, and cares for employees as people with lives outside of work. We believe that we make better decisions and provide quality services when our workforce reflects the diversity of the communities in which we operate. People of color make up nearly 70% of our workforce and we strive to recruit and retain employees from all backgrounds.
