About the role

In-house expert reviewer for affordable housing compliance across multiple programs, auditing resident files, validating automated outputs, and informing product improvements through real-world case handling.

Responsibilities

  • Review files for accuracy — Audit resident files across LIHTC (Section 42), HUD Section 8 (HCV, PBV, and PBRA), USDA Rural Development, and related programs for compliance with program rules
  • Own the hard cases — Apply expert judgment to the most complex and ambiguous files — income and asset calculations, imputed income from assets, deductions, and non-standard scenarios
  • Pressure-test the system — Validate automated compliance outputs against program requirements, confirming that calculations, determinations, and supporting language hold up to scrutiny
  • Identify and escalate gaps — Spot where the system does not yet handle a case correctly, document the issue clearly, and escalate the cases that require manual review
  • Feed findings back to product and engineering — Surface patterns and edge cases that should drive automation priorities and product improvements
  • Build reference materials and standards — Distill review patterns and edge cases into clear, durable internal reference guides so compliance knowledge is shared across the team
  • Support testing and validation — Develop representative test cases and support UAT to confirm outputs reconcile to compliance expectations before release

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of hands-on affordable housing compliance file review or auditing experience
  • Deep, practical knowledge of affordable housing programs — LIHTC (Section 42), HUD Section 8 (HCV, PBV, PBRA), and ideally USDA Rural Development — including income and asset determinations, certifications and recertifications, and tenant file requirements
  • Background as a state housing finance agency auditor, an operator-side compliance professional, or a third-party compliance reviewer
  • One or more relevant certifications: COS, SHCM, TCS, BOS, HCCP, NCP, or similar credentials demonstrating real file-review expertise
  • Strong, clear written communication — able to document findings precisely and explain compliance reasoning to non-experts
  • Comfort working through ambiguous, complex cases independently and at high volume
  • Experience in a software / SaaS environment, or comfort translating program rules into software logic
  • Experience with TRACS / MAT submissions, MORs, or state agency monitoring reviews
  • Familiarity with AI and/or automation as they relate to compliance workflows
