Project Operations Manager

About Women’s Home Preservation Women’s Home Preservation is a mission-driven real estate development firm dedicated to transforming structurally disinvested communities with a focus on creating edifying housing for women who are heads of households, including single mothers and widows. The organization purchases vacant properties that create blight in communities and redevelops them into mixed-use commercial and residential properties. The company’s approach encompasses both physical and social transformation. Their commercial rehabilitations address amenity gaps in communities by creating spaces such as cafés, hardware stores, and art galleries, while their residential rehabilitations focus on creating high-end energy efficient and resilient homes that significantly improve community health. Women’s Home Preservation distinguishes itself through its commitment to restoring the social and cultural dimensions of communities, not just the built environment. A cornerstone of the organization’s methodology is co-creation with community members. By working hand in hand with residents, the company brings projects of scale and significance designed to shift paradigms in how communities are perceived and valued. Rather than executing small-scale rehabilitations, Women’s Home Preservation leverages its high-caliber partnerships to execute bold and transformative visions. Concurrently with physical development activities, the organization works with communities to develop the cultural, political, and socioeconomic dimensions of its projects, ensuring sustainable and meaningful impact.
