Job DescriptionJob Description

The Homeless Outreach Specialist is a part of the Outreach Team with Pathways to Housing in Montgomery County . This program goal is to engage, support, and combat homelessness for individuals living in the Silver Spring and Wheaton Urban Districts. Our outreach staff works to build trust with those experiencing homelessness. This is done first by helping to meet some of their basic needs (including food, clothing, showers, laundry, transportation, identification, etc.). Then, they partner with each individual to access housing, employment, medical care, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and other services.

The Outreach team also responds to concerns about people experiencing homelessness in the area from police, other social service providers, business owners, workers, residents, and downtown visitors. When medical or psychiatric crises occur, outreach staff intervenes when appropriate and follow-up to ensure seamless medical or psychiatric care and transition back into the community.

The Homeless Outreach Specialist is responsible for implementing a comprehensive homeless outreach strategy for the downtown area. S/he provides direct outreach services in a team environment to people experiencing homelessness and represents Pathways and Montgomery County DHS to community stakeholders. Approximately 75% of time will be spent in the community, directly providing services to persons living in shelter or on the streets of the downtown community. While much of the work is independent and self-directed, there is also a strong team dynamic. Regular shift schedules include hours between 6am-7pm, Monday through Friday. Team members are also required to participate in quarterly daytime and evening counts of individuals sleeping on the street in downtown Silver Spring and Wheaton. Successful candidates are committed to ending homelessness and have a fundamental belief that hope and recovery are always possible.
