We create restorative living environments, where clients can thrive
while preparing for permanent housing.
We prioritize Diversity & Inclusion among our clients and seek to
always create a safe space through cultural competency and
humility.
We seek not to recreate punitive systems of control or "power
over," but rather share "power with" the clients, who are the
experts in their own lives.
We believe deeply in trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and the
housing first model and expect our teams to always uphold these
principles.
What we expect and value in our people:
Initiative: You like to work and be active your whole shift. You
find things to keep you busy that benefit the clients and the
program at all times. You make suggestions and pick up tasks to
help the community.
Critical thinking/problem solving: You should be able to encounter
a problem, gather information, and formulate a solution. You will
be supported by your team, but your thoughts will be valued!
Tenacity: Simply put, you get the job done. You don't let barriers
stop you and you problem solve to find solutions.
Respect towards others: You are constantly evaluating and assessing
yourself for bias and contributing to a Diversity & Inclusion work
space.
Empathy: You see the clients as people. You don't demand respect or
infantilize them. You are here to be a part of seeing them on their
journeys to living their best lives.
