Our Mission

Our Process

Our Difference

Homelink’s mission is to take care of families who have experienced a catastrophic event by helping them get back the comforts of home as soon as possible. We work collaboratively, compassionately, and quickly with our Insurance Partners and their Policyholders, to solve any housing challenge. Our goal is to create a positive experience that will be remembered long after the claim has been forgotten, so Policyholders will remain loyal to their Carrier for many years to come.

We work closely with Insurance Providers and Policyholders. Each claim is led by a Homelink Claims Consultant, dedicated to solving any challenge quickly and thoughtfully, with clear communication and support. Regardless of time or day, all calls are always answered by our knowledgeable Homelink team members. We maintain strong relationships with Adjusters, Insurance Carriers, Property Managers and Landlords to ensure we can find the right temporary housing for any Policyholder, every time.

At Homelink, we do more than just solve problems - we take care of them. We are dedicated to taking care of the details after a disaster to create solutions quickly and effectively. That means:

We take care of the needs of our Insurance Partners and their Policyholders, using our depth of expertise to support the claim efficiently and help more families find the right temporary housing solutions.

We take care of each other. We are continuously improving our tools, training and team benefits to ensure our team of creative, thoughtful, and empathetic helpers, are ready, able, and equipped to jump to action for you, Coast-to-Coast.

Meet our Founder

Joe Mlaka

At Homelink Corporation, our journey began in January 2001, guided by the vision and determination of our founder, Joseph “Joe” Mlaka.

Growing up in the heart of Chicago, my values were deeply influenced by my family – my father, a WWII Marine, and my mother, who worked at Motorola. Their pursuit of the American dream laid the groundwork for my enduring commitment to hard work and paying it forward.

Intrigued by the real estate industry, I recognized a perfect fit blending these aspirations into the temporary housing industry. Through a collaborative venture with a lifelong friend deeply rooted in the industry, the concept of Homelink took shape. This eventually led to the establishment of Homelink Corporation in 2001. Its first office was located in Illinois, and to this day, the company proudly maintains its headquarters in Hoffman Estates, embodying the steadfast roots of its origin and commitment to excellence in the temporary housing industry.

Building on Service: The Homelink Difference

From day one, I envisioned Homelink as a company built on service. I pledged to provide the highest level of service throughout the entire claim process, a commitment that echoes through the organization to this day. Over two decades, Homelink has fostered strong relationships with insurance carriers nationwide, offering a range of housing services for residential and commercial displacements.

As our team continues to grow and evolve, Homelink continues to operate as a family. My upbringing principles echo through the organization – work hard for what you believe in, and always pay it forward. Our commitment to employees mirrors our dedication to customers.

Joe Mlaka

As we share the story of Homelink with you, I want to emphasize two principles that have guided me personally and professionally:

Helping Others:
My family's journey taught me the importance of helping others. At Homelink, we prioritize assisting policyholders and carrier partners, embodying the compassionate philosophy of securing temporary accommodations during times of need.

Highest Level of Service:
Drawing from my early career experiences, I committed to ensuring every customer at Homelink receives the highest level of service throughout the entire claim process. Our success is rooted in this commitment, and for over 20 years, we've upheld this standard.

I hope these principles assure you that Homelink is the right partner for you. In an ever-changing landscape, we remain steadfast in our commitment to care for and provide the highest level of service: Anytime, Anyplace, and Anywhere.
