About Community Life

Community Life is TCB's place-based model that provides stable housing as a platform for residents and neighborhoods to achieve success. TCB communities are places of innovation that address some of the most significant challenges facing low-income populations. We engage residents in creating programs and build strategic partnerships with local stakeholders to maintain stable housing and create pathways to opportunities in six key practice areas: youth development, education, workforce development, health, asset building, and community engagement.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, the Community Life Service Coordinator (CLSC) develops and coordinates support services for residents of Cottage Gardens in Yonkers, NY. The Service coordination will ensure resident and community success through close work with property management, building and sustaining relationships with local and regional partners, planning programs and other on-site opportunities for residents, and working one-on-one with residents to assist them in achieving their goals.

The SC is an integral part of the housing and property team and plays a critical role in the overall positive culture of the property for the enjoyment of its residents and the respect of its neighbors.

Housing stabilization, health and wellness, education, workforce development, financial literacy and youth development are areas of focus that will be delivered through referrals to quality, local partners, on-site programing and individual coaching. Community engagement and community building activities will be essential in order to create a sense of community and initiate a gateway to other support services.

The SC will work with each family to create a family/individual success plan that will guide the support, interventions, and referrals needed by the family/individual. The family/individual success plans ensure a resident-centered approach to delivering resident services. In addition, the SC, in collaboration with the Community Life Leadership team, will track performance measures, administer the annual survey, develop a Community Success Plan, and evaluate effectiveness of the partnerships to impact outcome measures.

This position has a requirement of five days a week in office.
