Job Description

SLCS is currently seeking a full-time Housing Stability Worker for Project Home, a housing first program. Project Home focuses on housing adults and youth who have experienced chronic homelessness, anchoring them in their community, and establishing a sense of belonging through the provision of assertive and intensive housing first case management. As a member of this team, you will provide assessment, crisis intervention, and housing stability/homeless prevention support services to individuals in the city of London on an outreach basis.

As a member of the Project Home team, you will contribute to the ongoing development of the program, and to the broader citywide homeless services system.

As an SLCS employee, you will be responsible for the safety and security of program participants, co-workers and community during your employment. You will work collaboratively with other team members and community partners to complete administrative functions for the program.
