NJCEH Client Support Coordinator

The NJ Coalition to End Homelessness (NJCEH) is a statewide, social impact nonprofit with one goal: to eradicate homelessness in New Jersey. Toward that end, NJCEH will advocate, educate and organize for emergency and permanent solutions to homelessness.

The NJCEH AmeriCorps Program supports homeless shelters and outreach providers across the state by placing AmeriCorps members with them to provide services that assist clients experiencing homelessness and support client stability. These include group training, one-on-one sessions, and additional support for clients. Since securing housing for homeless clients in NJ is a long wait, members focus on helping clients to develop the critical skills and resourcefulness needed to be stable for when housing does become available. Placements may be available in the following counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Union, and Warren.

As a Client Support Coordinator, your service will be based on the needs of your service site organization and may vary from the position description. This may include guiding clients through the steps to: obtain identification, enroll in benefits, secure employment, apply for housing, find mental health resources, learn to set a budget, and develop tenancy skills, although this is not an exhaustive list. You will bring a unique perspective to your service site, allowing you to serve your community more efficiently and effectively and empower clients. Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness?
