Senior Project Coordinator Jobs in Torrance, USA at Government Jobs
Senior Project Coordinator
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) is an Eligible Jurisdiction (EJ) that receives annual funding from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) to implement Renter Protection and Homeless Prevention (RPHP) programs including a rental and financial assistance program to prevent households from falling into homelessness. Additionally, RPHP funding must be used to provide legal representation, advocacy, outreach, and education to households at risk of losing their housing.
The Senior Project Coordinator must be equally comfortable operating at a high strategic level and engaging in hands-on work to support these programs. One moment, the Senior Project Coordinator will be case conferencing with a case manager to develop a housing plan for individual clients, and the next, analyzing a complex policy proposal for a new homeless prevention program.

Additionally, the ideal candidate has experience working with Los Angeles County jurisdictions or regional government systems.
