**JOB POSTING**

**POSTING #**: 2023-05

**HOUSING SUCCESS WORKER - YBH (FULL-TIME. PERMANENT)**

**The Opportunity**
- **Join one of the Top 100 Charity Organizations today Since 2010, Charity Intelligence has awarded Eva’s with the highest rating available based on financial transparency, accountability to donors and cost-efficiency.**_

**Eva’s Turns Youth Homelessness into Home**

Youth experiencing homelessness who are Black, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQ+, racialized, or newcomers are overrepresented in the population of youth experiencing homelessness. In
Canada, racism, specifically anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, permeates society, creating social and health inequities.

To respond to the needs of homeless youth and decrease social and health inequities experienced by Black, Indigenous and racialized youth, culturally responsive supports and services must be provided. These supports center the identities and cultures of young people and affirm their holistic identity, taking into consideration the barriers they navigate in their daily lives. This ensures that services respond to the specific needs of youth instead of compounding the barriers they are already facing.

Eva’s provides shelter, transitional housing, and health and well-being programming to help youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Toronto. Join our expert staff to help young people reach their potential and lead fulfilling, healthy lives.

At Eva’s, we help young people move from crisis to stability with the ultimate goal of moving to independence. We work with each young person to develop an achievable action plan, attain their goals, and build strong community connections.

The HSW works in partnership with community-based organizations and stakeholders to assist in delivering services needed to clients and provide supports through coaching, mentoring, negotiating, intensive case management and the utilization of conflict resolution skills and mediation skills.

The **YOU**th Belong program is designed to support and center Black youth facing barriers to housing access. **YOU**th Belong provides youth with access to their own housing in a community setting. The program operates in both scattered housing and Eva’s managed properties across the city.
