What Else You Should Know

This position is a full-time, 40 hours per week position. ROC USA has two office locations in Concord, N.H. and Washington, D.C. The successful candidate may work out of either of these two offices, with work completed remotely 2 days per week. The role requires some travel across the country. The salary for this position is based upon experience. We also offer an excellent benefits package, including a Health Reimbursement Account, FSA, generous vacation and sick time, and a 3% retirement match.

Who We Are

ROC USA is not your typical affordable housing organization. We are a non-profit social enterprise with a mission to support homeowners in manufactured home communities to achieve affordable and environmentally sustainable self-governing cooperatives.

Resident ownership is achieved when homeowners in Manufactured (“Mobile”) Home Communities form a Co-op and acquire the underlying land from a commercial owner. To make ownership possible, ROC USA creates purchase opportunities through market development in industry and negotiations with investor-owners, provides training and Technical Assistance through a Network of affiliated non-profits and our own national team in states not served by an affiliate, and provides financing through ROC USA Capital, a U.S. Treasury certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI).

ROC USA and affiliates serve customers and support our mission with a national team of more than 20 and 50 affiliate team members, who stand proudly with low- and moderate-income homeowners who want control of the land under their neighborhoods. Our faith in these homeowners and the democratic cooperatives they operate is based on nearly 40 years of experience and success. We use this history and track record to inform and advance public policy at the local, state, and national levels.

Our networked business model allows us to achieve economies of scale and deliver consistently high-quality services and earnings that sustain the whole enterprise — individual ROCs, CTAP affiliates, and ROC USA itself. Working in a niche commercial real estate market that transacts time-sensitive projects through market-rate financing, operational efficiencies are critical.

Today, ROC USA represents 312 ROCs and nearly 22,000 Member-owners in 21 states. ROC USA Capital has provided more than $300 million in community financing. This track record of success has us well-positioned for significant growth.

Our success has been recognized by The Financial Times (“Why Big Investors are Buying U.S. Trailer Parks,” Feb. 2020) and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (“Mobile Homes,” April 2019) along with numerous other national publications, television and radio news, and podcasts.

Our Vision: We envision a country in which the owners of efficient and affordable homes are economically secure in healthy and socially vibrant resident-owned communities.

Our goals are to:

• Preserve and improve affordable communities.
• Build individual assets.
• Foster healthy, mutually supportive communities and leaders.

Our Cultural Norms:

• We insist on deep collaboration and accountability to one another, our internal and external customers, and the mission.
• Trustworthiness and transparency are essential to our success.
• Diversity strengthens us.
• We are better together!
• We love having fun and being creative.
