We ensure housing stability through prevention, access, and comprehensive support, affirming dignity, strengthening independence, and cultivating a community rooted in care.

• Training in Trauma-Informed Care.
• Knowledge of housing stability practices.
• Experience with Salesforce or comparable case management systems.

• Mission-driven leadership opportunity.
• Collaborative, cross-functional Programs Division.
