We’re a team on a mission
We know that our mission is only as strong as the people behind it. And that’s why we hire the best and we give them the tools they need to thrive. Our staff is passionate about affordable housing and the positive impact it has on lives and communities.
As a nonprofit organization, we care deeply about people – those who urgently need safe, affordable housing and those living in the homes we develop and manage. And we care deeply about our employees who work hard to support them. When it comes to our staff, we strive to create strong teams, meaningful career growth, and outstanding work environments.
We take the professional development of our employees very seriously. We value training, mentorship, and professional growth. We have a full-time Training and Development Manager, and we offer Avesta LEADS, a leadership training program for employees who want to expand their skills and knowledge and position themselves for advancement within the organization. With a staff of 255 people, including more than 30 new positions that have been created in the past five years alone, there is room to grow within and across departments.
We have a diverse team that values our culture of comradery. Our staff-run Social Wellness Activity Group hosts social outings and events throughout the year, including potlucks, a staff softball game, family activities, a running/walking club, a summer outing, a winter reception, and much more!
