Nature and Purpose
Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership (MBHP) is a non-profit housing agency that serves homeless, elderly, disabled, and low-income individuals and families in Boston and 29 other communities. We currently serve 11,500 tenants and property owners through our programs. We help people find and retain housing, become more economically self-sufficient, and enhance the quality of their lives.
Tasks
At MBHP, you can work in one of several departments. Five positions are outlined below, but they can be customized based on your interests.
2) INSPECTIONS:
The Inspections department at MBHP is responsible for making sure that the units in which our tenants live are safe and in good condition. The department does up to 100 inspections a day, and you would interact with both tenants and property owners. This position will allow you to learn about Section 8 and housing in Boston, the rules and regulations of our programs, interact with tenants and property owners, take part in case conferences, and more.
