This is advanced administrative and supervisory property management work in a federally-funded Metro-Dade public housing agency.

Employees in this class are responsible for supervising and directing housing management, maintenance and security operations of subsidized housing units for low-income families and elderly tenants in an assigned region. Responsibilities include determining regional needs and available resources, reviewing rent collection reports and taking appropriate actions, preparing and administering annual budgets, coordinating production of required records and reports, and maintaining functional relationships with resident councils. Incumbents exercise considerable independent judgment in directing housing operations in an assigned geographical territory. Supervision is exercised over a dispersed staff of housing managers responsible for daily management of housing units. General supervision is received from an administrative superior who reviews work through personal conferences and written reports for effective management of regional housing operations.
