How the Workforce Housing Program Works

Create a Renter Profile

Creating a renter profile is easy, free, and only takes a few minutes. We gather information like employment, income, household size, and how long you intend to live in the area. This information helps us match you better with potential housing. When you create a renter profile, you are notified via email once new listings become available.

Complete a Background and Credit Check

After completing a renter profile, you will receive an email prompt to complete a background and credit check. The background and credit check cost $38 and is a soft pull on your credit. The background and credit checks are good for up to a year and can be sent to multiple homeowners. We also recommend that you download it for your records.

Respond with the Unit ID

Once you complete the background and credit check, email workforcehousing@mammothlakeschamber.org with the Unit ID(s) of the listings you are interested in.

Get Matched with a Homeowner

When we receive the Unit ID(s), we will submit your application to the property manager. Once we submit your application, it is the homeowner's responsibility to connect with you. If they feel it’s a good fit, they will initiate the next steps, such as setting up a showing and a lease.

Frequently Asked Renter Questions

How does the process work?

To begin, fill out the renter form HERE, so we can better understand what you are looking for. Once the renter form is complete you will receive a follow-up email with the next steps. This includes a link to complete a background and credit check. If you are interested in a specific unit on our website the background and credit check will need to be completed for your information to be submitted to the homeowner. Please note this application costs $38 and is recommended to complete only if you have a unit you’d like to apply to. This does not guarantee that the homeowner will select your application. When we receive a completed application, we will submit it to the homeowner of the unit you are interested in. If they feel you’d be a good fit, they will reach out to set up a showing and discuss lease details.
