Parity is seeking a full-time, salaried Grants Compliance and Development Manager who will build out Parity’s internal financial processes, controls, and compliance to meet fund requirements.
This role has an anticipated start date of May 2023, and applications will be accepted until the role is filled.
Description The role is best suited for a professional with a background in financial management and controls, accounts receivable, accounts payable, bookkeeping, accounting, federal government reporting requirements, contract management, impact measurement, grant writing, and/or grant reporting.
Parity can provide access to learning resources for the right candidate to augment their skillset.
As the Grants Compliance and Development Manager, you will play a fundamental role in supporting Parity’s exponential growth and scale.
You will also support Parity’s fiscally sponsored project and sister company, The SOS Fund.
Reports To: Parity Homes CEO and SOS Fund Executive Director Works Closely With: Parity CEO, Parity Board President and Board Treasurer, SOS Fund Executive Director, third party accounting and bookkeeping firm (hereafter referred to as Key Leadership) About Parity and the SOS Fund Parity innovatively unlocks gridlocked housing markets by leveraging the social capital of existing neighbors and those most harmed by institutional racism.
We create upfront demand for affordable homeownership opportunities in neighborhoods experiencing hyper-vacancy by creating pathways for existing residents, families, and other social collectives to purchase homes together block by block as a means of community-building and wealth-building.
Parity removes systemic barriers to neighborhood revitalization by using innovative methods to acquire and renovate decades-abandoned properties and sells the homes at deeply affordable price points, which unlocks the supply-demand quandary that keeps neighborhoods depressed.
We lead with racial equity, intersectionality, and Development without Displacement at the core of our work.
Parity co-founded and fiscally sponsors the SOS Fund, which assists legacy homeowners with heirs’ property rights, delinquent property tax assistance, and foreclosure prevention.
The mission of the SOS Fund is to disrupt and dismantle predatory housing systems in Baltimore that erode property rights and ownership within the Black, Indigenous and other people of color (BIPOC) community.
It's through this thoughtful and creative approach that Parity and the SOS Fund are working to redevelop the most distressed neighborhoods in West Baltimore and create wealth-building opportunities while retaining human legacy and culture.
We see our impact as broader than just the homes we sell – we are shifting ideology and practice of how Black neighborhoods are valued.
