    Senior Director of Finance - Buffalo, United States - City of New York

    Default job background
    Description


    On June 16, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust Act, which authorized creation of the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust (the Trust).

    The Trust is a public benefit corporation that will oversee the renovation and rehabilitation of the city's public housing developments, owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).

    NYCHA remains permanent owner of the land/buildings and enters into a long-term ground lease with the Trust to secure Section 8 vouchers, a subsidy worth double NYCHA's current federal subsidy.

    Similar to how other government entities raise revenue for capital improvements, the Trust will issue bonds that fund comprehensive building renovations.

    The Trust Act limits the Trust's initial unit volume to 25,000 units. No NYCHA site can convert to the Trust without a positive vote of the site's residents. Under the Act, NYCHA must develop and administer a voting process to provide residents with that choice.


    The Trust Act took effect on August 15, 2022, and the Trust will be built by its initial seven-member board and a small staff.

    As the Trust assumes a full workload in 2024 – including leasehold contracts with NYCHA, Section 8 conversions with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the procurement of design-build partners to perform construction work – the Trust will continue to add staff to fulfill critical functions.

    Position Summary


    The Senior Director of Finance will play a pivotal role in the Public Housing Preservation Trust by overseeing and implementing a financial strategy for the Trust, establishing and executing financial operations, leading budgeting and financial planning initiatives, completing and overseeing required financial reporting, managing payments and executing cash optimization strategies and investments, and collaborating with the Trust's capital team and asset management team to set capital and operating plans for the developments the Trust oversees through a long-term ground lease with NYCHA.
