Community Life Service Coordinator

Position:
Community Life Service Coordinator

The Community Builders, Inc. (TCB) is a nationally recognized nonprofit developer, owner and manager of affordable and mixed‑income residential and commercial properties. Our mission is to build and sustain strong communities where people of all incomes can achieve their full potential. We do this by developing, financing, and operating high quality affordable mixed‑income housing, by coordinating access to support services, and by planning and implementing other community and economic initiatives critical to the communities we serve.

Every employee who works for The Community Builders understands what it means to make a significant difference in the lives of others.

Community Life is TCB’s place‑based model that provides stable housing as a platform for residents and neighborhoods to achieve success. TCB communities are places of innovation that address some of the most significant challenges facing low‑income populations. We engage residents in creating programs and build strategic partnerships with local stakeholders to maintain stable housing and create pathways to opportunities in six key practice areas: youth development, education, workforce development, health, asset building, and community engagement.

Reporting to the Community Life Senior Manager, the Community Life Service Coordinator (SC) develops and coordinates support services for residents of the mixed‑income apartment community. The Service coordination will ensure resident and community success through close work with TCB property management team and local community partners. The SC will work one‑on‑one with residents to assist them in achieving housing stability. The SC is an integral part of the housing and property team and plays a critical role in the overall positive culture of the property for the enjoyment of its residents and the respect of its neighbors.

Housing stabilization is the area of focus that will be delivered through referrals to quality, local partners, on‑site programming and individual coaching. The goal is to have families stable in their housing and to connect them to local opportunities in the areas of education, workforce development, financial education, asset building and health. In addition, community engagement and community building activities will be essential in order to create a sense of community and initiate a gateway to other support services.

The SC will work with each family to create a housing stability success plan that will guide the support, interventions, and referrals needed by the family or individual. The family/individual success plans ensure a resident‑centered approach to delivering resident services. In addition, the SC, in collaboration with the Community Life HUB team, will track performance measures, administer the annual survey, develop a Community Success Plan, and evaluate effectiveness of the partnerships to impact outcome measures.
