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. Working closely with community members in outdoor locations, the Housing Outreach Worker provides compassionate and non-judgmental support and works from the basis of Indigenous harm reduction to support cultural and community reconnection.

The Housing Outreach Worker builds relationships with community members who are unsheltered and who may be reluctant to access traditional support services. 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. The Housing Outreach Worker will work to ensure that Atlohsa Family Healing Services is a safe space for all community members accessing services and programming.
