Program Director/Manager, PRICE Grant Program
ROC USA, DC
About ROC USA
ROC USA is a national nonprofit social enterprise and certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that works to preserve and expand affordable homeownership in manufactured home communities across the United States. Residents in these communities typically own their homes but not the land beneath them—and despite the term “mobile homes,” these homes are rarely mobile. When communities are sold, often to private equity investors, new owners can raise lot rents or redevelop the land, putting residents at risk of displacement and stripping away hard-earned wealth.
ROC USA and our Network of nine Certified Technical Assistance Providers (CTAPs) exist to change this dynamic. Through the resident-owned community (ROC) model, we support residents so they can collectively purchase their communities and govern them as cooperatives. This ensures that the value generated in the community stays with residents—supporting affordability, reinvestment, stability, and long-term wealth building for low- and moderate-income homeowners.
ROC USA and our Network have supported the creation of 359 ROCs across 22 states, preserving over 24,400 homes as affordable for households at or below 80% AMI and enabling ROCs to access $1B in community financing. To support the success of ROCs nationwide, we provide training, tools, and peer learning for CTAPs, pre- and post-purchase technical assistance for every ROC either directly or through the CTAPs, and community financing to ROCs through our CDFI.
Position Overview
ROC USA has been awarded $38.1 million through HUD’s Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) program to preserve and revitalize manufactured housing communities nationwide. With a 40-year track record of empowering residents to own the land beneath their homes and a network of more than 359 cooperatives across 22 states, ROC USA is uniquely positioned to put this funding to work. We are looking for a dedicated program leader to make it happen.
We are hiring a Program Director or Manager (commensurate with experience) to lead the administration of ROC USA’s PRICE grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This role involves managing the PRICE grant and assisting in applying for future PRICE grants, ensuring compliance with PRICE funding requirements, and overseeing the proper use and reporting of PRICE funds. This person will work closely with various stakeholders, including HUD, partner organizations, and internal teams, to advance the organization’s mission through the PRICE program, both as a grantee and passthrough entity.
