PART TIME
Resident Service Coordinator
Description:
WHO WE ARE
Volunteers of America Colorado is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in-need transform their lives. Through more than 50 distinct human service programs, Volunteers of America changes the lives of more than 140,000 vulnerable Coloradoans each year. VOA services include housing and emergency shelters, hunger and nutrition services, and many other community support programs. Our work touches the mind, body, heart and ultimately the spirit of those we serve. VOA integrates compassion with highly effective programs that build and strengthen communities.
WHAT MAKES VOA SPECIAL
Volunteers of America Colorado believes unique challenges require unique and thoughtful solutions. VOA creates specialized programs to meet the critical needs of the communities we serve—our programs across Colorado look different because each community is distinct. Volunteers of America recognizes the senior who needs assistance with her grocery shopping in Fort Collins, and the student in Aurora who has never been to summer camp. We support Denver’s homeless veterans who have been underserved, and prepare preschoolers challenged by poverty to be successful in elementary school and beyond. Wherever we go we engage faith, relationship-building, and volunteers to lift-up and support Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens.
SUMMARY
The Service Coordinator is directly responsible for the service provision and housing assistance for the residents in the Affordable Housing Portfolio. This program serves seniors and persons with disabilities located at two of the affordable housing sites. Service modalities include Trauma Informed Care, Harm Reduction, and Motivational Interviewing. This position will work in conjunction with the Property Manager at the housing site. Job duties include conducting needs-based assessments, community outreach, providing case management services, supporting housing retention, connection to income resources and/or public benefits, attending meetings/trainings within the community and collaborating care with service providers and multi-disciplinary teams to enable them to live independently and age in place. Responsible for coordinating and/or facilitating health, wellness, and educational programs that are tailored to resident needs to improve resident wellbeing and foster a strong sense of community. Maintain existing partners and establish new partnerships with the aim of expanding opportunities and resources available to residents
