Compliance Specialist – Affordable Housing Programs
Queens, NY | Full-Time | Mission-Critical Role
Right Person. Right Seat. Right Results.
EqualAccess is partnering with a growing property management organization committed to affordable housing and long-term community stability. With a portfolio that includes LIHTC, HUD, HOME, and Section 8-funded properties, this mission-aligned firm plays a critical role in ensuring compliance integrity across NYC’s most essential housing programs.
We’re hiring a Compliance Specialist to help safeguard the mission of affordable housing—one file, one regulation, one family at a time. This isn’t just paperwork; it’s about making sure families keep their homes, audits pass smoothly, and our partners can continue to deliver deeply affordable housing to those who need it most.
You’ll be reviewing files, certifying tenant eligibility, supporting on-site staff, and preparing properties for agency audits. Think of this role as part quality control, part compliance navigator, and part regulatory translator.

Required:
