California (Hybrid or Remote);
Preference for Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Orange County, San Francisco Bay Area

For over 30 years, CSH has changed the lives of people who have been marginalized and are our most vulnerable neighbors by:

• Helping communities create over 467,600 homes for individuals and families who did not have one;
• Bringing hope to thousands who thought they would live on the streets or reside in institutions; and
• Ensuring not only a stable home for each, but access to the services that brought healthcare, recovery and training to their doorsteps.

CSH has proven supportive housing can change the lives of individuals, families, and communities. We have created a team of nationally recognized experts who are dedicated to our organization and its goals. We offer competitive salaries and benefits, generous leave and paid time off, and fully embrace the philosophy that work-life balance is achievable. CSH is now accepting applications for a Senior Community Investment Officer (SCIO) to join our Community Investment (CI) Team in California.

Applicants must reside in the State of California. Preference will be given to applicants based in Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Orange County and the San Francisco Bay Area. If the applicant hired for this role is located near San Diego or Los Angeles, this role can be hybrid working out of a CSH office. Otherwise, this role will be remote.

CSH is seeking a results-oriented individual committed to sharing their talent to support a mission-driven organization that leads efforts to expand housing and service solutions for highly impacted populations.
