You will work with people experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, or in search of affordable homeownership opportunities. Members provide services that range from new home construction, home repairs, housing-focused case management, homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, homeownership counseling, and housing navigation. There is a fit for everyone! All members grow personally and professionally through our trainings, service projects, and community events.

Members receive an annual living allowance of $19,000, as well as health insurance, student loan deferment, and childcare benefits, if eligible. Upon successful completion of the year, 1700-hour members receive an education award totaling $6,495 that can be used for higher education expenses or student loans. All members participate in a 3 day service orientation and training in August, with some additional travel required throughout the year. Expenses associated with any program-sponsored events are covered at no cost to you.
