Mr. Grant Jobs.
Human Resources Manager
A Road to Success
007 Wall Street St.
New York, NY 10001

Dear Mr. Jobs:

It is my sincere pleasure to submit this application for the position of Neighborhood Stabilization Program Associate with A Road to Success.

Hurricane Sandy has come to further complicate this scenario for residents of New Your and New Jersey by causing deaths, destroying whole communities, leaving tens of thousands homeless, affecting mass transit and cutting power to millions of homes. The recovery from such tragedy hasn’t been as rapid as was hoped for by local authorities, and residents from NYC are still awaiting for initiatives such the NYC Rapid Repair program to assist them to bring their homes back to occupancy conditions.

My previous experience working for Hacienda Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit organization in Portland, Oregon, was related to affordable housing development, asset management, program management and housing counseling. In my previous position with the Homeownership Program, I had the opportunity to be part of the team responsible for implementing and managing the Hardest Hit Fund for Multnomah County in 2010, providing mortgage assistance for a year, or $20,000, for an eligible homeowner.  

I’d like to close by expressing my sincere excitement about a challenging position aimed to support A Road to Success mission of seeking to support distressed homeowners retain their equity, especially those who were deeply affected by Hurricane Sandy and that need to return to their communities and homes. Thank you for opportunity to apply. 

Sincerely, 

Rudy Ulin

• Owners of buildings 50,000 square feet or larger

  OR

• Owners of two or more buildings on the same tax lot that are larger than 100,000 square feet

OR

• 2 or more buildings held in condominium ownership that are governed by the same board of managers and that together exceed 100,000 gross square feet **Exception: The law does not apply to 1-3 family residences on properties classified as Class One under the Real Property Tax Law.
