Qualified Loan Originator
We’re looking for a compassionate and skilled Qualified Loan Originator Volunteer Consultant to join our team at Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County. The QLO volunteer will help families move closer to fulfilling the dream of homeownership.
In this role, you’ll meet with applicants to review their eligibility for Habitat’s Homeownership Program, assess their ability to obtain financing, and offer recommendations tailored to their unique situations. This is a unique and flexible volunteer role requiring about one day per week, with variable scheduling, and you’ll be supported with training in current loan origination best practices, confidentiality, safeguarding, and more. If you have knowledge of mortgage lending practices, a heart for service, and a desire to empower families on their path to stability, we’d love to hear from you! There will be an interview process for this position to ensure the correct fit.
Please email Amy at volunteer@habitatejc.org with your interest–or if you know someone who might be fantastic for this specialized role.

Working towards a world where everyone has a decent place to live
Landes Terrace Groundbreaking
The recent groundbreaking at Landes Terrace marked the beginning of something extraordinary: 14 new homes built in partnership with local families, volunteers, and supporters. It was a joyful moment, full of promise and momentum.
With 20 homes now under construction, the momentum is real, and we invite you to follow along as Landes Terrace takes shape, one wall, one family, and one act of community at a time.
Malachi 3:10 Award

Based in the Christian tradition of tithing 10%, Habitat for Humanity’s Malachi 3:10 Award honors local affiliates that have contributed $500,000 in tithes to the Global Mission Fund.
A joyful evening of connection and appreciation
On September 3rd, Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County hosted a party to honor the very heart of our work: our dedicated volunteers and community supporters. Whether building on the jobsite, welcoming shoppers in the store, lending a hand in the office, or contributing quietly behind the scenes, these generous individuals give their time, talents, and treasure year after year, powering our mission to build homes, community, and hope.
Global Tithe
Habitat’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat EJC tithes 10% of our unrestricted revenue each year in support of Habitat’s global work. Our local efforts increase access to housing and sanitation in three countries – Lesotho, Nepal and Ethiopia.
Through Habitat Nepal’s masonry training, Ram Maya became one of the first female masons in her community.
