This one asks you to help build them as part of a small team doing something that doesn't yet have a playbook.MINTs are permanently affordable, community-governed real estate portfolios. That permanence is the point and it's also the challenge. These portfolios need to be financially sustainable and operationally excellent not just today, but for decades. Getting the systems, practices, and standards right from the beginning matters enormously, and you'll have real influence over what those look like.You'll work directly alongside a Senior Asset Manager, the broader Trust Neighborhoods team, and talented community-based organizations.
