We’re Hiring: Project Coordinator – Housing

Since 2022, the 15 South Bay incorporated cities have seen a 15% decrease in unsheltered homelessness, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. To continue progress on this front, we are seeking a project coordinator to help advance housing-focused strategies that prevent and reduce homelessness in our South Bay cities. This role supports our partner cities and agencies in implementing effective housing solutions. While this position does not work directly with unhoused individuals, it plays a critical role in coordinating efforts to increase housing availability and long-term stability for those in need. The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating both high-level strategic planning and detailed, hands-on project work.
