London, Canada Atlohsa Full time

Atlohsa Family Healing Services is seeking a motivated and dynamic individual to fill the role of Housing Outreach Worker. The main priority of the Housing Outreach Worker is to provide Housing-focused case management supports to Indigenous community members who are unsheltered.

The Housing Outreach Worker provides support and advocacy to reduce the harmful effects of sleeping in public spaces/unsheltered while engaging community support towards creating a pathway to long-term housing. The Housing Outreach Worker proactively intervenes when crisis or conflict arises, which may include aggressive or disruptive behavior due to substance use, mental health challenges, or trauma.
