Looking for more than a traditional property management role?

At HTNS, our Community Housing Coordinators do more than manage buildings—they help create thriving communities. This role combines resident relations, housing operations, community engagement, and problem-solving to support quality housing experiences for residents across Nova Scotia.

If you're passionate about people, housing, and making a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

The Housing Trust of Nova Scotia (HTNS) is a non-profit housing organization committed to creating and preserving quality, sustainable housing solutions across Nova Scotia. Through our workforce and mixed-income housing model, we create communities where residents can thrive while ensuring the long-term sustainability of our housing portfolio.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Housing Advisor,

The Community Housing Coordinator supports the day-to-day operations of an assigned portfolio of residential communities.

This role works closely with residents and Resident Managers to help ensure communities are welcoming, well-maintained, and operating effectively. The successful candidate will work closely with the client experience coordinator, accounting and capital project teams to support exceptional resident experience and strong community outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Oversee the day-to-day operations of an assigned portfolio of residential communities.
Build positive relationships with residents, Resident Managers, contractors, and community service partners.
Conduct application review and placement processes, resident onboarding, and occupancy initiatives.
Coordinate resident communications, notices, and community engagement activities.
Conduct regular property inspections and identify operational or maintenance concerns.
Work closely with contractors and service providers to ensure maintenance requests are addressed in a timely manner.
Support tenant retention through responsive service and relationship management.
Assist with move-ins, move-outs, and tenancy administration processes.
Coordinate resident access and communications during maintenance and capital improvement projects.
Ensure compliance with organizational policies, community standards, and Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies legislation.
Provide regular updates to the Housing Advisor regarding community operations and resident concerns.

What We're Looking For

Education & Experience

Post-secondary education in Property Management, Business Administration, Housing Management, Real Estate, Community Development, or a related field is considered an asset.
2-5 years of experience in residential housing, property management, community services, hospitality, customer service leadership, or a related field.
Experience leading staff, contractors, or resident-facing teams.
Experience coordinating multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Experience in non-profit, workforce housing, or non-market housing is considered an asset.
Valid driver's license and ability to travel between communities as required.

Knowledge & Skills

Strong communication, relationship-building, and conflict-resolution skills.
Understanding of residential housing operations and resident service delivery.
Knowledge of Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies legislation is considered an asset.
Ability to build positive relationships with residents, staff, contractors, and community partners.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and property management software (Yardi experience is an asset).

Why Join HTNS?

At HTNS, you will play a key role in creating sustainable and vibrant housing communities. You will work alongside a passionate team committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of residents while supporting the long-term success of our housing portfolio.

What Success Looks Like

The successful Community Housing Coordinator will:

Support occupancy and tenant retention initiatives across the portfolio.
Foster positive and engaged residential communities.
Ensure timely and responsive resident service.
Support strong maintenance and operational performance.
Support Resident Managers in delivering positive resident experience.
Contribute to the successful delivery of capital improvement projects.
Support HTNS's transition toward a sustainable mixed-income housing model.
