SHARE Aftercare Specialist

Overview

Anthos|Home is a nonprofit startup focused on creating a new way home for New Yorkers with housing vouchers. We streamline the apartment search, approval, and move-in process using technology to move people into stable housing faster. We believe every person deserves a place to blossom, and we're building the tools, systems, and teams to make that possible.

Our culture emphasizes urgency, data orientation, and openness. We value accuracy, data-informed decisions, and continuous improvement of how information is tracked and shared. We are looking for team members who are thoughtful, adaptable, and detail-oriented, who follow through and take ownership of their work.

About SHARE:
The Special Housing Assistance Resource (SHARE) program is a NYC housing voucher program designed to help households in shelters exit shelter for permanent housing. Anthos|Home administers SHARE vouchers to streamline the voucher process and serve families more efficiently. The SHARE Aftercare team provides voluntary, light-touch services to support housing stability and success throughout the four-year voucher term.
