This full-time position offers the chance to practice case management in a role where your daily impact is measurable and direct.

About the Role

As our Housing Navigator for the North Long Beach office (SPA 8), you'll use a "whatever it takes" philosophy to help clients move from homelessness to stable housing.

• Develop individualized service plans with each client that identify housing goals, income stability, and personal objectives
• Assess housing vulnerability using validated assessment tools (VI-SPDAT) and other program-specific evaluations
• Identify and provide referrals to housing, employment, healthcare, mental health, and community-based resources
• Conduct 90-day progress reviews with clients, evaluating outcomes and adjusting support plans as needed
• Maintain accurate, complete case files and documentation in compliance with HIPAA regulations and program policies

What We're Looking For

• Strong analytical thinking and meticulous attention to detail in all work
• Clear communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex information to diverse audiences
• Collaborative spirit and genuine ability to build productive relationships with colleagues, clients, and community partners
• Creative, proactive approach to problem-solving and willingness to take initiative
• Sound judgment, integrity, and commitment to maintaining professional boundaries
• Preferred: Two years of relevant experience in case management, healthcare, homeless services, or supportive work with vulnerable populations
• Minimum: All education and experience levels are encouraged to apply

Mandatory Requirements

• Valid U.S. work authorization (we cannot sponsor visas)
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation with current insurance
• CPR and First Aid certification (or agreement to complete before hire date)
• Pass tuberculosis test, background screening, and drug test as conditions of employment
