Property Management Administrator
About Mobile LoavesFishes
Mobile LoavesFishes (MLF) is a social outreach ministry that has been empowering communities into a lifestyle of service with the homeless since 1998. Founded in Austin, Texas, the organization serves its homeless neighbors through three core programs: Truck Ministry, Community First! Village, and Community Works. Often referred to as the most talked about neighborhood in Austin, Community First! Village is a 51-acre master planned development that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness. We are now embarking on a new phase of community expansion, adding more than 1400 new neighbors over the next 5-10 years.
About the Role
At Community First! Village (CFV), the Neighbor Care department has the privilege of walking alongside our neighbors, providing opportunities for them to settle, cultivate, and care for themselves and others in this unique community home to formerly chronically homeless individuals. As a part of the Neighbor Care team, the Property Management team is animated by a vision to empower neighbors into a lifestyle of accountability, goodness, and mutual respect in order to create a peaceful and healthy community.
The Property Management Administrator is a key member of the Property Management team, responsible for supporting daily operations, lease administration, rent collection, and neighbor-facing services. This role blends strong administrative execution with relational engagement-ensuring accurate records, consistent lease compliance, and supportive interactions that promote housing stability and a well-run community.
We are currently hiring for two Property Management Administrator positions to support our continued growth: one role will remain on our main CFV campus on Hog Eye Road, while the second role will begin onboarding at that location before transitioning to our new Burleson property, tentatively targeted for October and subject to operational needs.
This is a full-time, non-exempt position reporting to the Property Manager. Due to the nature and requirements of the position, hours are flexible to fit need, but typically include 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. Some nights and weekends may be required. Primary work location may shift based on operational needs and phase launch timing.

BELIEF STATEMENTS
The vision is supported by belief statements centered on our belief that homelessness is the result of a profound, catastrophic loss of family:
-
God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life
-
By virtue of being created by God in His image, we are all called to live in community and relationship with Him through each other
-
The family is the original cell of social life
-
You shall love your neighbor as yourself
-
All members of the human family are equal in dignity
-
The Lord God took the man and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and care for it. Gen 2:15
CORE VALUES
MLF is committed to fostering a culture that prioritizes relational connection. We believe there is opportunity in every aspect of our work to be relational in a highly transactional world. In this culture, transactions are means to relational ends, not the other way around.
This begins with the countercultural love poured out by Jesus Christ and grows as imperfect individuals strive to show this love to each other human-to-human, heart-to-heart.
Each individual's openness to the journey of their own personal growth is essential in building our relational culture, and we believe this culture flourishes as we each continuously strive to more fully embody these four core values:
-
Faith: We define Faith as the foundational belief that our world and all our work belong to God. This allows us to engage our work with joy and lightheartedness, knowing that we are not ultimately in control.
-
Humility: We define Humility as rightly viewing oneself as a single piece of a grander story. This humility leads to a view of oneself that is neither too high nor too low.
-
Generous Spirit: We define a Generous Spirit as a readiness to give more grace, mercy, and hospitality than is necessary or expected. This posture allows us to see others for who they are, not what they do.
-
Integrity: We define Integrity as a wholehearted commitment to doing right by God, ourselves, and others. This wholeheartedness shows itself in consistently choosing honesty, responsibility and ownership in all actions and decisions.
This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice.
MLF is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Personnel are chosen based on ability without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, genetics, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation in accordance with federal and state law.
