At Boston-based Preservation of Affordable Housing Inc. (POAH), communication and adaptation played a key role during the pandemic, says Julianna Stuart, vice president of community impact. The nonprofit is an owner-operator of over 12,000 units in 11 states and the District of Columbia, the vast majority of which are affordable housing. Much of the management functions that were done previously on-site were centralized to the main office, allowing site managers to focus on communicating directly with residents.
“We really prioritized the housing stability of our residents while at the same time making sure that all of our financial partners had everything that they needed to feel confident and secure,” Stuart says.
