LOCATION: 105 Chauncy Street, the Streets & community-based work

SUMMARY OF THE POSITION:

The Outreach Housing Placement and Stabilization Specialist (OHPSS) will work within the Outreach Department to provide housing navigation support to unsheltered homeless clients and housing stabilization services to previously unsheltered housed clients. The OHPSS will work in collaboration with OHP team and Outreach Specialists and Clinicians from BHOT and Veterans Outreach. This targeted housing placement and stabilization work will have a “Housing First” approach and will focus on assisting program participants to move into and sustain permanent housing and maximize independence and well-being. The work include vital document gathering, filling out housing applications, enrolling clients in mainstream benefits, accompanying guests to unit showings and lease signings, and providing assessments for and referrals to community based services. The OHPSS will work with Outreach team Specialists, Clinicians, and current or past providers to determine risk factors and need areas (using provided specialized assessment tools) to improve safety, independence, and well-being. Extreme weather conditions may require the OHPSS to assist the Outreach team with support to unsheltered individuals and vulnerable housed clients. This position is considered an essential employee for the PSI. Outreach Housing Placement and Stabilization Specialist will work from the following principles:

  • Shelter is a temporary safety net, not a home
  • All people experiencing homelessness, regardless of their housing history and duration of homelessness, can achieve housing stability in permanent housing
  • Everyone is “housing ready.” Sobriety, compliance in treatment, or even a clean criminal history is not necessary to succeed in housing. Rather, homelessness programs and housing providers must be “consumer ready”
  • Engage guests’ strengths and assets to move as rapidly as they can tolerate, into permanent housing
  • Working as a member of a larger team, asking for help and providing it to others as needed
  • Recognizing the impact of violence and victimization on development and coping strategies
  • Employ an empowerment model
  • Maximize guest choices and control over her/his recovery supported by an alliance with staff
  • Create an atmosphere that is respectful of the guests’ right to safety, respect, and acceptance
  • Emphasize the guests’ strengths, highlighting adaptations over symptoms and resilience over pathology
  • Minimize the possibilities of re-traumatization
  • Strive to be culturally competent and to understand each person in the context of his or her life experiences and cultural background
  • Solicit guest input and involve guests in designing and evaluating services
