Housing Specialist

Each year the New London Homeless Hospitality Center supports over a hundred people experiencing homelessness as they return to permanent housing. For some this support is modest—maybe just help with a security deposit. For some this support includes help finding available units and longer-term rental assistance. For a small number this support also includes help linking to resources including employment supports. Housing Specialists work across all these levels of need to help minimize the time people spend experiencing homelessness and maximize housing stability in the participant’s new home.

The Housing Specialist will:

• support the housing search for HHC guests, participants in other CAN programs, and victims of domestic violence.

• increase landlord motivation to work with HHC by responding to concerns related to tenants referred by HHC.

• support housing stability by facilitating access to rental assistance for those eligible, helping tenants comply with lease terms, supporting the development of housing plans to address participant priorities and increase income. A more detailed job description is available on our website at NLHHC.org.
   

Qualifications

• Demonstrated skills in maximizing engagement, skill building, and providing person-centered supports.

• Highly organized with demonstrated ability to pay attention to detail and undertake multiple tasks on a daily basis.

• Valid driver’s license with no points.

• Ability to communicate in Spanish a plus.
