Housing Navigator - TIP

Open Doors to Safe, Stable Housing for Veterans At the Center for Veterans Issues, Inc. (CVI), finding an apartment is about more than locating an available unit. It is about helping a Veteran find a safe, stable place to call home—and building a foundation for renewed independence.

The Transition in Place (TIP) Housing Navigator connects Veterans with housing that meets the requirements of the Department of Veterans Affairs, HUD, and the TIP program. Through landlord engagement, unit inspections, community outreach, and ongoing collaboration, this position helps ensure Veterans enter housing that is safe, suitable, and prepared to become permanent.

If you are a relationship-builder who can combine housing knowledge, careful attention to detail, and genuine compassion for Veterans, this role offers the opportunity to create lasting change—one home at a time.

Why Join CVI?

In this role, your work will lead to something tangible: a key, a front door, and a safe home where a Veteran can begin the next chapter.

Every landlord relationship you build can create another housing opportunity. Every thorough inspection helps protect a Veteran’s health and safety. Every outreach presentation may connect a Veteran with resources they did not know were available. Every follow-up conversation can help preserve a successful tenancy.

At CVI, you will not simply locate housing—you will create pathways from homelessness to lasting stability. If you are ready to build partnerships, solve housing barriers, and help Veterans find homes where they can move forward, we would be honored to meet you.
