About the Company

EqualAccess is partnering with a community-focused housing organization that manages income-restricted rental properties across New York City. Their mission is rooted in equity, access, and long-term neighborhood stability. This team doesn’t just rent apartments — they open doors to opportunity. As they continue to expand their outreach, they’re looking for a Marketing & Outreach Assistant to help amplify their impact.

Position Summary

We’re hiring a Marketing & Outreach Assistant to support efforts that connect people to affordable housing opportunities. This role is perfect for someone early in their career who wants to learn the ropes of housing outreach, marketing, and community engagement — and who brings strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a heart for equity.

You’ll be the behind-the-scenes engine that powers visibility — helping get the word out about housing lotteries, keeping listings updated, prepping materials for community events, and assisting applicants in navigating the process.

Coordinate the translation of materials into multiple languages

Community Outreach

Administrative & Reporting Support

Enter applicant and outreach data into internal tracking systems

Help monitor compliance with Fair Housing and affirmative marketing rules

Track engagement metrics and outreach effectiveness

Provide scheduling, file organization, and other day-to-day support

What You Bring

Required :

High school diploma or equivalent (Associate’s or Bachelor’s preferred)

At least 1 year of experience in marketing, outreach, housing, or a customer-facing role

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Familiarity with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace

Comfort working with diverse populations and multilingual communities

Organizational skills and ability to juggle multiple projects

Preferred :

Bilingual (especially Spanish, Chinese, or Haitian Creole)

Familiarity with affordable housing programs (LIHTC, HUD, etc.)

Experience with Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or email marketing platforms

Location : Queens, NY (on-site with some local travel to events and properties)

Employment Type : Full-time

Compensation : $50,000-$55,000
