Description
Homes for Good is recruiting for a pool of interested candidates to support a variety of upcoming projects with their specialized language skills.
Homes for Good Housing Agency is a high performing public housing authority located in Eugene Oregon, servicing all of Lane County (4,600 sq. miles). The Agency’s primary work is to help low-income Lane County residents access and maintain affordable housing.
In these roles, you will support the processes of a department who is working to positively impact the housing issues that are affecting our community. You will collaborate with agency staff and community partners to achieve equity and community engagement project goals through the utilization of your language skills. This often includes the engagement of underrepresented communities such as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and religious minorities, but can also include the general population. At Homes for Good, we connect people with rental assistance and public housing. Our long-term efforts emphasize the creation of more affordable housing for low-income Lane County residents. Projects you may work on can come from any agency department or division and can range in topic, and all focus on infusing equity and community engagement within our different program offerings. Some past and current projects include implementing our Strategic Equity Plan; increasing our database of renters through our Waitlist Connect pop-ups; annual Resident Service events centered around community, wellness and health; and more. Most projects will include aspects of community engagement where your skills can be complemented by your lived experience, community connections, and languages spoken.
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs if they don’t meet every one of the qualifications listed. We are interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. If you meet key qualifications for the job, and believe you would be the best fit, we would encourage you to apply.
This is a continuous posting.
