We are a completely self-sustaining operation that offers rental and homeownership products and services and we face many of the same regulatory, market, and financial hurdles of private sector financial institutions. Our clear advantage to employees is that we offer challenging, and meaningful work but with an appropriate work-life balance as well as excellent state government benefits. Now we’re looking to reinforce our team with a person who is enthusiastic, motivated and eager to work with us.
