Position Summary As a Housing Stability Specialist, you’ll play a critical role in helping tenants maintain stable housing in the two years after move‑in. This role focuses on both crisis response and proactive tenant support, helping prevent and resolve challenges that could otherwise lead to eviction or housing loss.

You’ll work directly with tenants, property staff, and community partners to mediate issues, coordinate services, ensure clear communication, and deliver responses. You’ll also collaborate closely with the broader Stability Support team in Colorado to manage a high volume of support tickets and build sustainable, trust‑based relationships across our network.

This role is well‑suited for someone who brings empathy, sound judgment, and strong follow‑through, and who is comfortable working in dynamic, sometimes urgent situations while maintaining clear boundaries and strong documentation practices.

Critical Job Functions

Conduct proactive check‑ins with tenants to monitor housing stability, identify early warning signs, and support with stabilizing interventions for those at risk of housing disruption after rapid rehousing ends.

Coordinate with property partners and community partners to address tenancy challenges such as nonpayment, lease violations, maintenance concerns, safety concerns, and neighbor conflicts.

Work one‑on‑one with Housing Connector residents to identify and meet stability‑related goals (e.g., tenant education, employment, financial wellness, mental health, and basic needs).

Support tenants in accessing and navigating community resources to promote long‑term independence, reduce tenancy risks, and build a sustainable support network.

Respond to stability tickets and troubleshoot housing concerns in partnership with the Stability Program Manager, acting as a liaison between case managers, residents, and property teams.

Provide housing stability support onsite at designated properties using a client‑centered, culturally responsive, and trauma‑informed approach.

Support crisis de‑escalation in collaboration with onsite teams when challenging situations arise.

Actively support continuous improvement by identifying communication gaps, recommending process changes, and contributing to team learning.

Manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment with strong attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and maintain strong professional boundaries.

Requirements Skills and Qualifications

3–5 years of relevant experience in case management, housing stabilization, or nonprofit social services.

Experience supporting individuals with behavioral health challenges, substance use recovery, or complex housing needs.

Strong conflict resolution, mediation, and crisis management skills via phone, email, and in person.

Ability to build trust across diverse populations and maintain clarity in complex, cross‑functional situations.

Technologically proficient in tools like Salesforce, MS Office Suite, and Slack.

Highly organized with strong documentation habits and follow‑through.

Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and adapt in a fast‑paced, reactive environment.

Commitment to equity, empathy, and long‑term housing success.

Preferred

Training in trauma‑informed care or motivational interviewing.

Prior experience with housing programs, resource navigation, or community‑based services.

Culturally responsive approach to working with people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, income levels, and lived experiences.

Background in social work, mental health, or substance use counseling.

Work Environment & Schedule This role follows a standard Monday through Friday schedule during regular business hours. The position is not on‑call and does not require routine evening or weekend work.

This is a hybrid, salary non‑exempt role based in the Denver metro area. The position includes regular in‑office collaboration in Littleton and in‑person meetings with tenants, property partners, and community organizations as needed.

The role is expected to work approximately 40 hours per week. Occasional overtime may be required based on tenant needs or urgent housing issues and will be compensated in accordance with state and federal law.

Local travel is required to support tenants onsite and attend meetings. A valid driver’s license, access to a reliable vehicle, and current auto insurance are required.

This position requires the ability to remain stationary for extended periods, operate standard office equipment, and move throughout apartment buildings or properties that may not be fully accessible. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the role.
