Are you interested in serving people who are looking for safe, secure housing? Do you enjoy being the helpful voice in someone's otherwise complicated day? Are you energized by helping our county's vulnerable populations? Our Housing Navigator provides services and engages with clients, assists them with locating housing, navigating housing-related challenges, accessing community services and programs, and acts as a liaison to the landlord to help prevent avoidable evictions. Housing Navigators work directly with clients, providing support through HUD or USDA programs, or other community agencies.

You’ll need experience communicating with people (staff, vendors, and others) of all backgrounds.

As a Housing Navigator, you will learn more about the trauma-informed way that HASCO supports our community’s vulnerable populations.
