Job Description
2Life Communities provides superior housing to older adults of all backgrounds who can thrive
independently within a supportive environment. We are a mission-driven organization with a vision whereby
all older adults have the opportunity to age in community – to live a full life of connection and purpose in a
dynamic and supportive environment. We are continually evolving support services to meet the needs of
our diverse residents as they age. We offer care coordination, service coordination, and a wide array of
wellness, cultural, and other activities. We partner with health care providers to identify innovative ways to
support residents' health and well-being, and we engage with the broader community through our Village
Center program.
2Life owns and operates over 1,300 units of affordable rental housing located within six campuses in
metropolitan Boston. With another 210 apartments under construction and more in planning, we expect to
add another 600-700 units within the next several years as we complete projects in operational planning
and construction phases. We continue to pursue other development opportunities. We anticipate continued
growth in the size of our portfolio, the geography in which we operate, and the diversity of our residents in
terms of race, ethnicity, income levels, and need for supportive services.
