You are comfortable working collaboratively with property managers, maintenance staff, community partners, and multidisciplinary teams while maintaining clear professional boundaries. You have strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office, database systems, email, and web-based research. What You'll Do Welcome new residents and introduce them to resident services, NAYA programs, and community resources during their first weeks of tenancy. Build trusting relationships with residents to understand their goals, identify service needs, and connect them with appropriate resources and supports. Provide housing stabilization services that help residents maintain safe, stable housing and reduce the risk of eviction. Partner closely with property management while maintaining appropriate boundaries between property management and resident services. Connect residents to NAYA's wraparound services and community resources that support housing stability, health, education, employment, and family well-being. Plan and coordinate on-site activities and events that strengthen community, promote wellness, encourage youth engagement, and celebrate Native culture and traditions.
