Under the supervision of the Clinical Housing Manager, the Clinical Housing Coordinator provides collaborative, direct supportive services to a caseload of 25-40 program participants who are seeking stability in housing. The Coordinator also supports the Manager with providing some crisis response assistance and support coverage for the team.
