Help Families Find Their Way Home

Shelter Housing Specialist | Full-Time | Make a Real Difference

Are you someone who believes every family deserves a safe place to call home? Do you thrive on building connections, breaking down barriers, and turning possibility into reality for people who need it most? If so, we have a role that was made for you.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking a passionate and resourceful Shelter Housing Specialist to join our team and serve as a critical bridge between families experiencing homelessness and the stable housing they deserve. This isn't just a desk job — it's a chance to walk alongside families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives and help guide them toward a fresh start.

You'll be a connector, an advocate, a coach, and a problem-solver — all rolled into one.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Coach & Empower — Work one-on-one with families in our Emergency Shelter program to build personalized, goal-driven housing plans they actually believe in
Open Doors — Build and maintain relationships with landlords and property owners across the community, expanding housing options for the families we serve
Inspect & Protect — Conduct HQS inspections to ensure every unit meets HUD standards and that families are moving into safe, quality homes
Navigate the Process — Guide clients through rental applications, leases, tenant rights, and everything in between so no paperwork stands between a family and their new home
Advocate Loudly — Speak up for families facing unsafe or neglected housing conditions and hold property owners accountable
Document with Purpose — Maintain accurate case notes, HMIS data, and client files that tell the full story of each family's journey
Collaborate Constantly — Partner with case managers, shelter staff, and outside agencies to ensure no family falls through the cracks

You'll Thrive in This Role If You...

Meet people where they are — without judgment. Understand the deep impacts of trauma and approach your work with compassion and patience. Are a natural relationship-builder who can connect with everyone from a nervous client to a skeptical landlord. Stay organized and cool under pressure. Believe in the power of boundaries, confidentiality, and cultural sensitivity. Are comfortable behind the wheel and out in the community as much as you are at your desk

What You Bring to the Table

Associate degree in a related field (Bachelor's in Social Work, Psychology, Sociology, or related field is a plus!)
1-2 years of experience working with families facing housing instability or homelessness (preferred)
Proficiency with Office 365 and reporting/data software
Valid driver's license and ability to meet vehicle insurance requirements
A genuine commitment to equity, dignity, and human potential

The Environment You'll Work In

No two days look the same here. You'll move between our shelter facility, client homes, schools, community spaces, and your desk — meeting families and partners wherever the work takes you. Our shelter community includes individuals of all ages, from infants to adults, and every interaction is an opportunity to make an impact.

Hours: Generally Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week, with occasional flexibility for evening or weekend needs.

Why This Role Matters

Behind every case file is a family — a parent who wants stability for their children, a child who deserves a bedroom to call their own. As a Shelter Housing Specialist, you are the person who makes that happen. You'll leave work each day knowing your efforts directly translated into keys in someone's hand and a roof over their head.

Ready to Be Someone's Game-Changer?

We'd love to hear from you. Apply today and take the first step toward a career that doesn't just pay the bills — it changes lives.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. Reasonable accommodations are available for individuals with disabilities.
