Lincoln Avenue Communities

We are a family-owned and operated owner, developer, and investor specializing in affordable housing nationwide. Founded in 2016, we have 51-200 employees. Our main goal is to provide affordable housing for low-income families, individuals, and seniors. We achieve this through government rental subsidies (like Section 8 and Section 42) and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).\n\nOur work includes new construction, where we use 4% and 9% tax credits to build affordable housing units. We also preserve existing affordable units by renovating them, preventing their conversion to market-rate properties. Additionally, we provide workforce housing for residents earning 60% to 120% of the area median income. We serve over 80,000 residents across 28 states.\n\nOur headquarters are in Santa Monica, CA, and we also have offices in New York, NY; Denver, CO; and Minneapolis, MN. Our projects include property rehabilitations with environmental upgrades, such as new low-flow water appliances, energy-efficient HVAC systems, LED lighting, and solar panel installations. Our annual impact report, Growing Our Impact, details our economic impact, resident services, and environmental sustainability efforts.

Our mission is to create long-term value for our stakeholders and strengthen communities by investing in affordable housing. We develop quality, affordable homes that provide social, environmental, and financial returns. We operate as a “double bottom line” business, driven by both financial and social impact.\n\nOur vision is to raise the standards in affordable housing investment, ownership, and development. Our core values include integrity, excellence, teamwork, accountability, intellectual curiosity, tenacity, and precision. Our team members are passionate about making a lasting impact in affordable housing.

We are committed to our team’s growth, ensuring everyone has opportunities to excel and advance their career. We foster a culture of respect, appreciation, and intellectual curiosity. Our team is intelligent and caring. We aim to build an environment that celebrates excellence and values the unique viewpoints, experiences, and backgrounds of our team members.\n\nOur work environment often uses a hybrid schedule, requiring employees to work from the office for part of the week. We value our team members as the foundation of our organization.

We offer competitive salaries and comprehensive health coverage, including full medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their families. We provide a 401(k) plan with employer matching and no vesting period. Employees receive generous paid time off, including vacation days, sick days, paid holidays, and an end-of-year office closure. Paid parental leave is available for primary and secondary caregivers.\n\nOther benefits include performance-based bonuses, life and disability insurance, employee referral incentives, and opportunities for continuous learning and development. We also organize company and team-building events.
