Job Description

Housing Locator – Community-Based Role

Are you someone who loves being out in the community, building connections, and making a real difference in people’s lives? Join our team as a **Housing Locator** , where you'll help individuals find safe, stable housing—and support them in staying housed.

What You’ll Do:

As a Housing Locator, you’ll be on the front lines helping adults who’ve experienced long-term homelessness and are living with mental illness or substance use challenges. You’ll work closely with landlords to:

+ Build and maintain strong housing partnerships

+ Educate and support landlords

+ Help resolve issues between tenants and landlords

+ Ensure clients are housed in safe, appropriate environments

+ Receive training to become a certified housing inspector

This is a **community-based role** , which means you'll spend time out in the field, visiting homes, supporting clients directly, and traveling to meet with landlords (mileage is reimbursed). **We provide PPE** to ensure your safety during visits.

You’ll be part of a supportive team using the **Housing First** approach—putting housing stability first while providing wraparound care to help clients thrive.

Who We’re Looking For:

+ Outgoing and comfortable working out in the community

+ A natural relationship-builder and communicator

+ Compassionate and understands trauma and mental health

+ Energized by helping others find long-term stability

Minimum Requirements:

+ **Education & Experience:** Bachelor’s degree (in social work, public planning, business, urban planning, or similar) **plus 3 years of relevant experience**

+ **Knowledge:** Familiar with community resources, government programs, and support systems

+ **Communication:** Strong verbal and written skills with a professional presence

+ **Understanding:** Background in mental health or human services is a plus

+ **Driving:** Must meet driving requirements if the role involves transportation
