Director of Housing

United Tribes Technical Coillege
07.2005 - 04.2012

I placed students in available housing on campus. When needed I found housing off-campus for students with families. This required my working closely with landlords across Bismarck and Mandan.

I wrote up invoices every month so landlords received their payments on time.

I worked closely with Burleigh and Morton County Housing to attain assistance for each student so that they could become self-reliant.

I handled the tax credit program on campus. I kept all the paperwork in order and all residents living in the tax credit apartments in compliance with the federal tax credit program.

I managed budgets effectively to ensure optimal use of resources while maintaining financial stability.
