Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley (Habitat) is a dynamic, progressive nonprofit organization that seeks to enrich our whole community through a legacy of affordable homeownership. Since 1989, Habitat has built/renovated and sold more than 295 affordable homes, completed more than 10,500 home repairs, and engaged thousands of residents in neighborhood revitalization efforts.

Position Overview

Habitat is seeking a Home Improvement Coordinator to support critical home repair and neighborhood improvement initiatives, primarily in Ypsilanti. This role serves as a key connection between residents, contractors, volunteers, and Habitat staff, helping homeowners access services that improve safety, comfort, and quality of life.

• This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working directly with people, managing multiple projects, and making a tangible impact on the community.
