Job Description

SUMMARY:

Under the supervision of the East Kern Program Manager, the CES Housing Navigator works with community service providers to build relationships with the community, provide advocacy, and link to benefits and housing. The primary goal is to identify unsheltered homeless and other individuals through community referrals from homeless service providers and social service agencies. In identifying highly vulnerable unsheltered and other individuals, the Housing Navigator will administer assessment tools, facilitate referrals and resources, and connect to social services and permanent housing. The Housing Navigator will also assist individuals in obtaining housing readiness documentation and enter data into the homeless management information system (HMIS) and/or CRM software. The Housing Navigator will work as part of a larger team within the Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC).
