    Description
    Context and Job Summary
    UTEC believes that everyone has the right to stable housing.

    Safe and secure housing allows everyone to meet an important basic need from which all individuals can build to create and meet their goals.

    UTEC also acknowledges that the housing needs of emerging young adults are different and unique.

    UTEC?s housing approach will align with our justice-driven values and ensure a creative and equitable approach to ensure young adults attain and retain permanent short- and long-term housing.

    The Director of Housing will develop and launch a new housing strategy to help young adults find a path toward long-term stable, safe housing.

    UTEC recently received a state grant to set up a system based upon a sponsorship voucher program model to secure housing for young adults who have been released from incarceration.

    The Director of Housing should have knowledge in the housing voucher programs and be interested in developing initiative strategies to support our young adult needs.

    They will work in collaboration with leadership to develop the systems and policies needed to launch this new initiative.

    This Director will be responsible for building relationships with brokers, landlords, and external partners and securing housing for young adults.

    This position will facilitate ongoing communication for housing issues and advocacy by working with young adults, and community partners, participating on community and stakeholder committees, and monitoring trends related to accessible, integrated, and affordable housing.

    The Housing Director will also have the opportunity to grow a team to support this new initiative.

    Experience

    The Housing Director will facilitate housing searches including providing advocacy and negotiation with property owners on behalf of clients; gather all pertinent paperwork to identify new affordable housing stock through cultivating and maintaining relationships with property owners, housing authorities, and other community organizations; and identify apartments for client placement that meet safety and health standards.
