ABOUT LIFEMOVES

LifeMoves is the largest and most effective provider of housing and services for neighbors experiencing homelessness in Silicon Valley since 1987. Our Mission is to end homelessness by providing interim housing, supportive services, and building collaborative partnerships. With 40 programs, LifeMoves gives our neighbors experiencing homelessness a temporary place to call home while providing intensive, customized case management through site-based programs and community outreach.

POSITION PURPOSE

The Guadalupe Residential Service Coordinator plays an important role in keeping our site safe, welcoming, and running smoothly. Reporting to the Operations & Services Manager or Program Director, this position is often the first to respond to client needs, helping with both everyday requests and urgent situations. Additionally the position supports volunteers, donors, and community visitors, making sure everyone feels respected and informed. Key responsibilities include keeping the site secure by monitoring access, completing regular safety checks (rounds), and supporting daily tasks like welcoming new clients, preparing rooms, and organizing supplies. When supervisors are offsite, this role is key to observing what's happening at the site, sharing updates, and keeping clear written and verbal communication with the team. This role requires strong attention to the safety and emotional well-being of clients, especially during times of stress or crisis. Staff use a calm and compassionate approach to help resolve problems and support stability. By creating a supportive environment, this position helps clients feel safe and builds trust to work toward their goals, including finding permanent housing.

With 96 rooms and ADA-compliant buildings for case management, educational workshops, dining, recreation, laundry, and even a pet area, LifeMoves Guadalupe EIH is a modern, comfortable place to temporarily call home. Through this purpose-built platform, we support our clients with tailored services that help them stabilize and empower them to return to self-sufficiency. LifeMoves Interim supportive Housing programs serve neighbors in time-based accommodations by providing more stability before their move to permanent housing and focusing on accommodations, meals, laundry, case management, and therapy. These sites are staffed 24/7 and this role provides oversight to staff on site and reports to the Director of Interim Supportive Housing.
