ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

Affiliate Mortgage Services, a non -profit organization, established in 2008, was the first mortgage lender in the nation, created by a Habitat for Humanity State Support Organization (SSO). Its mission was to originate and service mortgage loans for Habitat for Humanity Affiliates in the state of Michigan.

After several years the company began to receive requests for assistance from HFH Affiliates outside Michigan. As the company began bringing its services to other states, it could no longer operate under the Michigan SSO’s Affiliation Agreement with Habitat for Humanity International.

In January, 2019 it changed its name to Affiliate Mortgage Services and separated from the Michigan SSO; however, its original mission remains the same. It is 100% dedicated to providing cost-effective mortgage origination and loan servicing solutions to Habitat for Humanity Affiliates and their homeowners.
