  • Attend assigned community and other stakeholder meetings and advocate for client and program needs, including organizing or participating in case conferences as appropriate;
  • Respond to crisis situations in a calm and professional manner, ensuring the safety of clients and staff. Collaborate with the Housing Based Case Manager and Housing First Case Manager to mediate landlord/tenant issues. Provide crisis debriefing after incidents, as appropriate.

  • Itemize unit inventories prior to move-in
  • Prepare Landlord Packets
  • Submit Grant Requests

The Housing Locator must be able to fulfill duties in accordance with the Housing First approach, including:

  • Housing as the first essential step, without any requirements for sobriety, participation in treatment, medication protocol, compliance, or demonstrated "housing readiness";
  • Reducing harm to the individual and broader community;
  • Remaining non-judgmental in behaviors, practices, beliefs and actions of service participants;
  • Promoting and empowering meaningful choices and service access options, as well as allowing the service participant to influence the type, duration, frequency and intensity of supports;
  • Absence of coercion, tricks or contracting;
  • Professional relationship without dependency that supports "doing with" instead of "doing for";
  • Expressing empathy and positivity;
  • Remaining future oriented, not anchored to past events, with a strong sense of promoting hope and possibility in a realistic manner;
  • Transparency and disclosure of information with the service participant using full informed consent;
  • Balancing the needs of the client, community and landlord in each situation;
  • The right to refuse or revoke services and/or seek restitution or grieve instances where they feel services are inappropriate or inadequate.

Measures are taken to train staff to appropriately deal with these situations, but those in the position should reasonably expect these types of things to occur and the Housing Locator must provide appropriate direction and support to these situations.
