Job Description

The Prevention and Problem Solving Program Manager will manage the continued design, development, implementation and evaluation of Targeted Prevention and Problem Solving interventions, which are essential core components of the Homelessness Response System (HRS). Both Targeted Prevention and Problem Solving are relatively new interventions to HSH and are essential to creating an efficient and robust system of care and making homelessness rare, brief, and a one-time occurrence. Additionally, they are both critical pieces to reducing the massive racial disparities in homelessness – as achieving racial equity in our homelessness response cannot just be considered once people become homeless.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Manage, Monitor, and Evaluate the Performance of Grantee Agreements: * Oversee program implementation and execution across the HRS to ensure successful delivery of high quality services in adherence to budget, scope and best practices. * Monitor and track program deliverable compliance and successful execution through annual program monitoring, monthly reports, site visits and other ongoing reporting and quality control practices. * Manage agreements with multiple funding sources and monitor compliance and adherence to federal, state and local funding expectations. * Support in the ongoing development of goals, objectives and policies of appropriate HRS interventions and other projects and initiatives of the Department. * Support program and financial analyses to make process improvement and strategic recommendations. * In partnership with HSH Contracts Team, assist in ongoing budget development, modifications and revisions of assigned grant agreements. * Engage in cross-functional collaboration with internal departments and external partners.
• Provide Technical and Administrative Assistance: * Establish and maintain high quality relationships and partnerships with Grantees and other key community stakeholders. * Provide targeted support to Grantees as a way to build organizational and system capacity, build on existing strengths, and address underlying needs/gaps. * Develop consistency and high quality delivery of services across our system of care. * Facilitate ongoing service coordination/administrative meetings among Grantees and key stakeholders. * May include additional duties as assigned.
