Housing Stabilization Specialist

Housing Stabilization Specialist

About the Role

The Housing Stabilization Specialist works directly with individuals who hold housing vouchers through EDEN, supporting them as they secure and maintain stable housing. This role focuses on helping participants build the skills, knowledge, and connections needed to remain housed long term while reducing the risk of future homelessness.

This position is well suited for someone who is compassionate, highly organized, and experienced in housing services, workforce readiness, or case management. The Specialist must be comfortable balancing relationship-based support with clear expectations, documentation requirements, and timely follow-through. Regular use of technology for case notes, communication, and tracking progress is an essential part of this role.

Key Responsibilities

Housing Stabilization Specialists partner closely with participants to develop and carry out individualized service plans that reflect each person's goals, strengths, and challenges. This includes supporting participants in finding and maintaining housing, navigating housing systems, and addressing barriers that may threaten housing stability.

The role involves providing advocacy, case management, and short-term crisis intervention as needed, while maintaining professional boundaries and a trauma-informed approach. Specialists also facilitate or support life skills and workforce readiness activities, such as budgeting, financial literacy, computer skills, and employment preparation.

Collaboration is central to this work. The Specialist regularly communicates with landlords, housing providers, and community agencies to connect participants to appropriate resources and services. Accurate and timely documentation is required, including maintaining case notes and participant records in the ETO database within established deadlines. Participation in team meetings, provider meetings, and trainings is expected, as is occasional transportation or accompaniment to appointments or court when appropriate.
