Job Description
Housing & Financial Wellness Counselor
Horizons – Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Full-Time or Part-Time
$19/hour + $1/hour increase upon obtaining HUD Certification
Make a difference with your financial knowledge.
Horizons is looking for a Housing & Financial Wellness Counselor to help individuals and families build financial stability, prepare for homeownership, improve their credit, and navigate housing challenges. If you enjoy helping people solve problems and reach meaningful goals, this could be a great fit.
No previous housing counseling experience required-we'll provide the training and support to help the right candidate become a HUD-certified Housing Counselor.
What You'll Do
- Provide one-on-one counseling on homebuying, housing stability, foreclosure prevention, budgeting, and credit.
- Help clients improve credit, reduce debt, and prepare for successful homeownership.
- Develop individualized budgets and action plans, and connect clients to community resources.
- Maintain client records per Horizons and HUD requirements.
- Help facilitate homebuyer education and financial workshops, and take part in community outreach.
You May Be a Great Fit If You...
Enjoy working one-on-one with people, are comfortable talking about money, and can explain financial concepts clearly. You're organized, compassionate, and dependable. Experience in banking, lending, mortgage servicing, financial education, credit counseling, housing, or human services is especially valuable. An associate or bachelor's degree in a related field-or equivalent experience-is preferred.
Already HUD-certified? We'd love to hear from you. If not, you'll be expected to earn your certification within four months of hire, with our support.
Why Horizons?
Instead of selling products or meeting sales quotas, you'll use your knowledge to help people make informed decisions and build lasting stability. You'll join an organization that values Integrity, Inclusivity, and Compassion.
This is a non-exempt position. Occasional evening or weekend hours may be needed for workshops or events.
