Housing Court Liaison
About the role
The Postgraduate Center for Mental Health (PCMH) operates a portfolio of supportive and community residential programs serving New Yorkers living with mental illness. Our residential model is grounded in housing stability, harm reduction, and helping residents remain successfully housed. Legal action is a last resort, undertaken only after documented retention efforts have been exhausted. The Housing Court Liaison manages the tenancy legal process from initiation through resolution and serves as the primary point of coordination between program staff and the agency's attorneys. This role is responsible for ensuring that any case brought forward is legally sound, fully documented, and consistent with regulatory and organizational standards before it proceeds. The Liaison owns the compliance pipeline that precedes and accompanies any court action, and helps safeguard both residents' rights and the agency's legal standing.
Responsibilities
