At Habitat for Humanity, we commit to building safe, decent homes and selling them to qualified low-income families via a 25 to 30 year, low- to no-interest mortgage. Habitat families go through an application process to enter the program, and that's where this role comes in.
This role will:
- Prepare and send Verifications of Employment, Verifications of Housing and Verifications of Child Care Benefits
- Pull Credit Reports on applicants
- Pull background screening reports
- Search public records for judgements and criminal history
Qualifications:
- A strong commitment to maintaining privacy
- Attention to detail
- Ability to monitor for missing items and follow up on a timely basis
- Ability to pass a criminal background check
Time Commitment: The application process currently happens twice a year, with the next cycle coming mid-June.
The work of this position (20-30 hours per application cycle) is usually completed within a 30-day timeframe, so it is an episodic opportunity. The actual time of work can be flexible, including daytime, evenings, and/or weekends based on the volunteer's availability.
This is an in-person process and must be done at the Habitat office in Madison.
Full training will be provided.

Through our volunteer network, generous donors and sales from our two Habitat ReStores, we’re helping families achieve strength, stability and self-reliance to build a better life through shelter. In Dane County alone, one in eight people lives in poverty, including 16 percent of all Dane County children. Habitat for Humanity’s Vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live. Our Mission: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Our Goal: Habitat for Humanity of Dane County will be a recognized leader, partner and catalyst for affordable housing solutions that positively impact families, communities and the environment. We are guided in everything we do by these fundamental values: Building communities and families Increasing sustainability Building efficiencies through partnerships
Description
Habitat for Humanity was founded on the principle that safe and affordable homeownership empowers people to reach their full potential. Our goal is to help families achieve and maintain sustainable housing. Through volunteer labor and donations of both money and materials, we build affordable homes for families as well as help low-income families make repairs on their current homes.
A home provides stability for families and children, as well as a sense of dignity and pride. Surveys show that children who grow up in a home are healthier, do better in school and will have better job prospects. Stable housing leads to safer, healthier and stronger communities.
Habitat does not give away homes or home repairs. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest their sweat equity into building their Habitat home and the homes of others. Each family must also attend educational courses on home maintenance, landscaping, budgeting and insurance.
The combination of low construction expenses, volunteer labor and a low to no-interest mortgages makes these homes affordable. Including property taxes and insurance, the Habitat homeowner’s monthly mortgage payment is no more than 30 percent of their gross income.
