What You'll Do
 

A stable home can change what is possible for a person or family. As YWCA’s Resource Navigator and Rental Assistance Specialist, you will help people facing homelessness find a path forward and help Lynnwood renters stay in their homes when a financial crisis puts their housing at risk.

 

This full time position is evenly divided between two areas of work. As a Resource Navigator, you will listen to participants’ goals, complete coordinated entry assessments, develop housing action plans, and connect people with services that fit their needs. In the rental assistance program, you will guide eligible Lynnwood households through the application process, work with landlords and property managers, coordinate assistance payments, and follow up to support lasting housing stability.

 

You will bring a strengths based, trauma informed, and culturally responsive approach to every interaction. Your work will help people make informed choices during difficult moments and advance YWCA’s mission to eliminate racism and empower women.
