The market

Recertification talent is scarce. The stakes are not.

NYC affordable housing lives on annual recertifications, interims, and income certs. One file done wrong, or done late, puts compliance and funding at risk. The people who do this well are in heavy demand and short supply.

This is not a seat a generalist recruiter can fill. You need someone who knows the difference between LIHTC, Section 8, HUD, and HPD, and who can tell a specialist who closes files clean from one who only lists the acronyms on a resume.

How we help

We vet for the programs you actually run.

We know the alphabet soup

LIHTC, Section 8, HUD, HPD, Tax Credit, and TRACS. We screen for the programs in your portfolio, not buzzwords on a resume.

We know the workflow

Annual recerts, interims, income certifications, file audits, and waitlist management. We vet for people who keep files clean and audit-ready.

Affordable housing is home turf

It is one of our deepest verticals. We have placed leasing and recertification talent across the boroughs, backed by coaching and a six-month guarantee.

What we screen for

Recertification is where affordable housing is won or lost.

A clean file survives an audit. A late recert cascades into rent errors, findings, and clawbacks. The specialists who prevent all of that are the most underrated hires in the industry, and the hardest to screen from a resume alone.

File-level rigor

Income calculations, asset verification, EIV reports, 50059s and TICs that actually reconcile. Our screens go into the file itself, because that is where this job lives and where weak candidates get found out.

Deadline temperament

Recertification calendars do not negotiate. We look for specialists who run 120, 90, 60, and 30 day clocks without being chased, and who escalate early instead of letting a file quietly slip past its date.

Resident-proof communication

Getting documents back from a working household takes persistence and respect in equal measure. We screen for specialists residents actually respond to, because in this role, response rates are the job.

Recertification sits inside a bigger picture: see our affordable housing practice for the full portfolio view, and leasing and operations staffing for the desks these files flow through.
