Description
WHO WE ARE:
Volunteers of America Colorado is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in-need transform their lives. Through more than 50 distinct human service programs, Volunteers of America changes the lives of more than 140,000 vulnerable Coloradoans each year. VOA services include housing and emergency shelters, hunger and nutrition services, and many other community support programs. Our work touches the mind, body, heart and ultimately the spirit of those we serve. VOA integrates compassion with highly effective programs that build and strengthen communities.

WHAT MAKES VOA SPECIAL?
Volunteers of America Colorado believes unique challenges require unique and thoughtful solutions. VOA creates specialized programs to meet the critical needs of the communities we serve—our programs across Colorado look different because each community is distinct. We engage faith, relationship-building, and volunteers wherever we go to lift up and support Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens.





The Housing Specialist will coordinate and oversee the implementation of the VOCA Housing for Crime Victims Special Project and DVP TANF Flex Funds project, as well as provide mobile advocacy to crime victims as they transition to and/or maintain independent housing. Program participants will be adults who are homeless due to domestic and/or family violence, sexual assault, or stalking, who may or may not have mental health or chemical dependency issues, and are low-income. The purpose of the Housing for Crime Victims Special Project will be to create or enhance a housing program for eligible program participants that will first focus on helping survivors increase access to and retain safe, long-term housing and then provide tailored supportive services
