Regular Full Time

At Hamilton Families, our mission is to end family homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1985, we have been meeting the most urgent needs of unhoused families in our community. Our programs specialize in preventing family homelessness when possible, providing shelter and transitional housing to families in times of need, supporting the wellbeing and academic achievement of children who experience homelessness, and quickly returning families to safe and stable housing throughout the Greater Bay Area.

At Hamilton Families, we believe the San Francisco Bay Area is at its best when people from all backgrounds can start a life here, raise a family here, and thrive here. We envision a Bay Area where housing is accessible and affordable, where homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring, and where all people and families have a safe and stable place to live.

We foster an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued and contribute to our collective success. Our commitment to inclusivity ensures every team member feels respected, supported, and empowered to thrive.

We're excited to add a Senior Case Manager to our Transitional Housing team. This role provides intensive, strength-based, trauma-informed services to families experiencing homelessness who are participating in a 12-month transitional housing program.

Through assessment, intervention, counseling, skill-building, advocacy, and coordination of services, the Senior Case Manager helps families strengthen their functioning, increase self-sufficiency, and prepare for successful independent living at program exit.

• Facilitate education and coaching related to budgeting, financial literacy, tenant rights and responsibilities, conflict resolution, time management, employment readiness, and household management.
• Partner with families to establish sustainable income and employment plans.
• Assist participants in building natural supports and community connections that will remain in place after program exit.
