Revere Housing Authority

As the Executive Assistant of Revere Housing Authority, my duties can vary on a day-to-day basis. Responsibilities include but not limited are maintaining the Executive Director’s appointment schedule by planning and scheduling meetings, conferences, and travel; organizing and maintaining files and records; as well as conserving and ordering supplies for the office. My number one goal is to keep the office running smoothly which enables the Executive Director, Management, and Tenant Selectors to focus their attention on providing quality care to all of our Public Housing participants.

As the Administrative Assistant for Revere Housing Authority, I am the first point of contact for all clients such as tenants and applicants; my main objective is to provide information. Most applicants are seeking information or resources that will help them in their housing search. Since there is a waiting list for public housing, any help in the form of services or resources that could possibly assist an applicant is important information to pass along. I am responsible for assisting and directing phone calls by collecting information and answering their housing questions. I act as a liaison between clients and the Tenant Selection/Housing Management Departments. I assist the finance department by coding and entering bills, and generating checks. I am responsible for making sure all bills are paid on time and filed in a timely manner.

Jessica Capodilupo serves as the Maintenance Clerk/Administrative Assistant and has over twelve years’ experience with RHA.

This year is Alyssa’s first year serving as Mixed Population Coordinator. RHA has an amazing group of tenants. It has been a pleasure to provide services/ supports to this community and to get to know tenants through home visits, meeting tenants at their weekly hair cut or foot doctor appointments in their buildings, or waiting for the weekly bus to grocery shop. Alyssa has been able to reestablish a relationship with Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department to provide seniors with the Senior Identification Program and hopes to expand programs with the Department by instituting the Children’s Fingerprinting Program (stay tuned!). She has also initiated a partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank, forging the way for the Brown Bag Program that provides a bag of groceries each month for primarily seniors and some families. RHA families also participated in the first annual Playground Safety Essay and Poster contested hosted by the HAI Group and is proud to share that RHA families who participated placed third in all three categories with a prize of Walmart gift cards. Alyssa is looking forward to continuing current relationships and establishing new partnerships with community organizations to ensure that tenants are aware of and connected with supports and resources available to them.
