SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Christopher Community, Inc. has appointed Kelly Lawton as its new director of housing compliance.
She brings more than two decades of property management and compliance experience to the organization and will play a key role in ensuring regulatory adherence and quality standards across Christopher Community’s housing portfolio, the organization announced.
Lawton began her career in property management and steadily rose through the ranks — from property manager to regional manager, general manager, and eventually senior compliance manager. She most recently worked at Housing Management Resources in Syracuse. In recent years, she has also worked in compliance consulting and auditing, providing her with an in-depth understanding of housing regulations, operations, and best practices, Christopher Community stated.
Lawton’s “extensive background in compliance and property management, along with her commitment to improving housing outcomes, will be a tremendous asset to our mission and operations,” Jeffrey Eysaman, president and CEO of Christopher Community, said.
Lawton holds an associate degree in accounting from Bryant & Stratton College and maintains several industry certifications, including HCCP, COS-A, C4P, STAR, BOS, and CSO-HCV.
Christopher Community is a nonprofit housing development and management organization dedicated to providing housing solutions across Central and Western New York. It manages more than 3,300 units across 70 properties.
