What the Housing Problem Solving Specialist will do: The Housing Problem Solving Specialist works directly with families experiencing a housing crisis. This includes assessing families’ needs and resources, explaining how the homeless response system works, exploring available housing and shelter options, and providing resources and referrals.

  • Offer problem-solving support to families so they can maintain their current housing or quickly secure a safe place to stay. Problem-solving approaches are trauma-informed and strengths-based. This might include mapping of personal networks and resources, motivational interviewing, conflict resolution, and/or mediation.
  • Assess families’ eligibility for San Francisco’s Homelessness Response System, which includes shelter, rental subsidies, and permanent supportive housing. Help families understand how the system works, and whether and how they can access it.
  • Provide families with referrals for emergency overnight shelters, food and other basic needs, and all other relevant resources.
  • Maintain up to date information about families in both Compass’ Salesforce database and the city-wide ONE System.
  • Once a family is matched with a housing opportunity, offer support to facilitate the connection and ensure that they are able to take advantage of it.
  • Assess and de-escalate potentially volatile situations.

The Housing Problem Solving Specialist should have these skills:

  • Relevant experience in social work or a related field
  • Experience working with families in crisis
  • Excellent interpersonal, listening and communication skills
  • Strong computer skills with proficiency in Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
  • Ability to assess and de-escalate potentially volatile situations

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
