Senior Resident Services Coordinator

Senior Resident Services Coordinator – California Hotel (Oakland, CA)

East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) is a nonprofit community development organization that has been building healthy, vibrant, and safe neighborhoods in Oakland and the East Bay for over 50 years.

The Senior Resident Services Coordinator will be based at the historic California Hotel, a landmark affordable housing community that includes Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) units. This full‑time leadership role supports residents with housing stability, food security, and community connection while partnering with onsite case managers, the County of Alameda, and the Alameda County Community Food Bank.

We are seeking someone who brings compassion and grace, while also maintaining clear boundaries and professional judgment. The ideal candidate will understand the unique dynamics of PSH and Oakland’s diverse communities.

The Senior Resident Services Coordinator (SRSC) plays a key leadership role in supporting residents at the historic California Hotel. This position requires demonstrated experience working with formerly homeless individuals, people with mental health challenges, and other vulnerable populations, ensuring residents are treated with dignity and respect while maintaining healthy boundaries.

The SRSC will act as a bridge between EBALDC residents, Property Management, and third‑party service providers—including onsite case management partners, the County of Alameda, and the Alameda County Food Bank. The SRSC will provide direct resident support, build community engagement, coordinate services, and foster collaborative partnerships that strengthen housing stability and build a resilient community for all residents.
