About the role

Role focused on conducting first-pass reviews of resident files for affordable housing programs, applying program rules, flagging complex cases for escalation, and supporting QA, testing, and product improvements in a fast-paced SaaS environment.

Responsibilities

  • Review files for accuracy — Conduct first-pass review of resident files across LIHTC (Section 42), HUD Section 8 (HCV, PBV, and PBRA), USDA Rural Development, and related programs for compliance with program rules.
  • Apply standard determinations — Handle routine income and asset calculations, deductions, and certifications using established guidance and reference materials.
  • Flag complex or ambiguous cases — Recognize when a file falls outside standard review criteria and escalate it to Tier 2 with clear, well-documented notes.
  • Verify system outputs on standard cases — Check automated compliance outputs against program requirements for routine files, confirming calculations and determinations are correct.
  • Document findings clearly — Record review notes and observations so patterns and recurring issues can be shared with Tier 2 and product teams.
  • Follow review guides and checklists — Use the reference materials and standards built by Tier 2 to ensure consistent, accurate reviews.
  • Support testing and validation — Help execute test cases and UAT under Tier 2 guidance to confirm outputs reconcile to compliance expectations before release.
  • Meet quality and volume targets — Deliver accurate, timely reviews that meet defined SLAs and quality benchmarks.

Qualifications

  • Working knowledge of LIHTC (Section 42), HUD Section 8 (HCV, PBV, PBRA), and/or USDA Rural Development — including income and asset determinations, certifications and recertifications, and tenant file requirements.
  • Comfort following established guidelines and escalation criteria — know when to apply a rule and when to flag for senior review.
  • Certifications such as COS, SHCM, TCS, BOS, HCCP, or NCP are a plus but not required.
  • Clear written communication — able to document findings precisely and completely.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work accurately at high volume.
  • Comfort working in a software / SaaS environment, or willingness to learn how program rules translate into software logic.
