AGENCY OVERVIEW
Plymouth Housing Group owns and manages 11 buildings that provide nearly 800 units of permanent housing for homeless or very low-income people in downtown Seattle. PHG cannot end homelessness simply by providing housing. Many homeless people need much more than a roof over their heads—they need medical care, mental health counseling, chemical dependency services, and life-skills coaching. They may also benefit from creating healthy connections within their community. Our goal is to assist formerly homeless and very poor tenants to establish a stable life in permanent housing by providing needed resources and teaching basic life skills, thereby empowering tenants to manage their lives effectively.
JOB SUMMARY
This position is responsible for the delivery of homelessness prevention and housing stabilization services to tenants 55 years and older who were formerly homeless with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Work will include establishing strong relationships with tenants, creating community within the building, and developing partnerships with community service providers. This specialized work supports a tenant’s creation of home via personal goal setting, behavioral change, harm reduction, service referrals, and life and relationship skills coaching. The position will also serve as a training and consultative resource for the Social Services team.
