About ROC USA
ROC USA is a national nonprofit social enterprise and certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that works to preserve and expand affordable homeownership in manufactured home communities across the United States. Residents in these communities typically own their homes but not the land beneath them—and despite the term “mobile homes,” these homes are rarely mobile. When communities are sold, often to private equity investors, new owners can raise lot rents or redevelop the land, putting residents at risk of displacement and stripping away hard-earned wealth.
ROC USA and our Network of nine Certified Technical Assistance Providers (CTAPs) exist to change this dynamic. Through the resident-owned community (ROC) model, we support residents so they can collectively purchase their communities and govern them as cooperatives. This ensures that the value generated in the community stays with residents—supporting affordability, reinvestment, stability, and long-term wealth building for low- and moderate-income homeowners.
ROC USA and our Network have supported the creation of 357 ROCs (or “resident owned communities”) across 22 states, preserving over 24,000 homes as affordable for households at or below 80% AMI and enabling ROCs to access $1B in community finance. To support the success of ROCs nationwide, we provide training, tools, and peer learning for CTAPs, pre- and post-purchase technical assistance for every ROC either directly or through the CTAPs, and community financing to ROCs through our CDFI.
Joining ROC’s 35-person team, the CFO will serve as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team and partner closely with the CEO, Board of Directors, investors, lenders, and senior leadership to guide and execute ROC USA’s financial and capitalization strategy, including Treasury functions, balance sheet management, financial oversight and compliance (especially with public subsidy administration).
