COMPANY BACKGROUND

Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM) is a comprehensive health, human services, and community development nonprofit that has served Northeast Philadelphia and the surrounding counties since 1970. For more than five decades, APM has been a cornerstone institution in strengthening families, advancing economic opportunity, and revitalizing historically disinvested neighborhoods.

APM’s Community and Economic Development (CED) work is anchored in the long-term revitalization of the Fairhill and eastern North Philadelphia corridor. Through strategic real estate development, public-private partnerships, and mission-driven investment, APM has developed more than 500 units of high-quality affordable housing and a vibrant commercial plaza that includes a 44,000-square-foot full-service supermarket, a community credit union, and essential retail services that bring jobs, fresh food, and economic activity back into the neighborhood.

APM’s Property Management Department oversees the full life cycle of these assets—from lease-up and resident services to facilities maintenance, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting. The portfolio is governed by multiple funding and compliance frameworks, including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), HUD programs, and internal APM reporting to senior leadership and the Board of Directors, ensuring both fiscal integrity and mission alignment.
