Recovery Housing Navigator & Coordinator

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Position Summary (which could be About the role). Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Core Competencies (maybe Skills). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. Also we need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Equal Opportunity and Inclusion" which is boilerplate; we should drop it. Also "Working Conditions and Physical Requirements" maybe could be part of Requirements? But it's not a standard heading; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements? The instruction: Use headings only for those specific section names. We can include other content under appropriate headings. For Working Conditions, maybe we can put under Responsibilities or Requirements? It's not a list; we could put as a

under Responsibilities or maybe under Requirements? Probably under Responsibilities as it's about job conditions. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll include a

under Responsibilities for Working Conditions and Physical Requirements. We need to not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Position Title. We need to format lists with

• . For prose use

  . We need to preserve all substantive info: Position Summary, Essential Duties and Responsibilities (with many bullet-like sentences). We'll need to convert those into list items? The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are many sentences; we can treat each sentence as a list item. However we must preserve all info; we can break them into list items. That's okay. Similarly for Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Core Competencies (maybe Skills). We'll need to decide which heading to use: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting has Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Core Competencies. We could map Minimum Qualifications to Requirements, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications, Core Competencies to Skills. Or we could combine. The instruction: Use headings for those specific names if there is real content. So we can include Requirements (

    Requirements

    ) with Minimum Qualifications content. Qualifications (

    Qualifications

    ) with Preferred Qualifications. Skills (

    Skills

    ) with Core Competencies. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to drop boilerplate: Equal Opportunity and Inclusion, maybe also "Working Conditions and Physical Requirements" is not boilerplate; we keep. We also need to drop duplicated lines, application instructions (none). Also drop any mention of "Job ID / requisition numbers". Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    Position Summary... (the paragraph)

    Responsibilities

    • Receive and respond to self-referrals, walk-ins, and referrals from healthcare and treatment providers, recovery housing providers, criminal justice partners, youth-serving organizations, homeless service providers, community organizations, and other appropriate sources.
    • Complete timely, individualized assessments of each participant's housing needs, recovery goals, treatment preferences, strengths, barriers, cultural context, communication needs, and desired supports.
    ... etc for each duty. We need to include all duties from the "Essential Duties and Responsibilities" section. Let's extract them: - Receive and respond to self-referrals, walk-ins, and referrals from healthcare and treatment providers, recovery housing providers, criminal justice partners, youth-serving organizations, homeless service providers, community organizations, and other appropriate sources. - Complete timely, individualized assessments of each participant's housing needs, recovery goals, treatment preferences, strengths, barriers, cultural context, communication needs, and desired supports. - Explain recovery housing options, admission requirements, costs, program expectations, available supports, and participant rights in clear, understandable language so participants can make informed choices. - Identify recovery housing options that align with each participant's goals and support needs, including options that affirm and support appropriately prescribed MOUD. - Coordinate referrals and facilitate warm handoffs to recovery residences, treatment and healthcare services, recovery supports, benefits, and other community resources. - Help participants obtain identification, income verification, clinical or treatment documentation, medication information, and other materials required for housing applications or admission. - Coordinate transportation assistance, when appropriate, for housing tours, appointments, warm handoffs, and entry into recovery housing. - Maintain contact after referral and placement, document outcomes, troubleshoot barriers, and coordinate additional services to support housing retention and recovery stability. - Provide age-appropriate recovery housing navigation and recovery support to eligible TAY participants with OUD. - Coordinate with youth-serving organizations, recovery housing providers, treatment providers, educational programs, employers, and other partners to connect TAY participants with housing, supportive services, education and employment resources, life-skills development, and other stability supports. - Use developmentally responsive engagement practices that promote participant voice, choice, safety, healthy relationships, and increasing independence. - Establish and maintain a coordinated referral list of recovery residences operating under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or other formal agreement with Communities for Recovery. - Maintain current information for each participating residence, including availability, costs, admission requirements, services, policies, populations served, accessibility, and MOUD-supportive options. - Confirm that participating residences maintain naloxone on site, cooperate with referral coordination and consent-based follow-up, and agree to support continuation of appropriately prescribed MOUD. - Clearly communicate that participating residences may not deny admission, discharge, penalize, discriminate against, or require tapering or discontinuation solely because a participant receives appropriately prescribed MOUD. - Maintain regular communication with providers and partners to support placement and retention, resolve coordination issues, identify access barriers, and improve the recovery housing system. - Coordinate connections between eligible recovery residences and TROHN, Oxford House, or another Travis County-approved accrediting or recognizing organization when a residence is pursuing formal recognition. - Represent the referral list accurately: inclusion is not an inspection, certification, endorsement, or guarantee by Communities for Recovery or Travis County, and each residence remains responsible for applicable legal, health, safety, and operational requirements. - Administer financial assistance according to written eligibility criteria, documented participant need, available funding, approved uses, and organizational controls. - Assess and document requests for eligible expenses, which may include application and move-in costs, application fees, transportation, initial housing or program fees, short-term recovery housing scholarships, and other reasonable short-term expenses that directly support placement or retention. - Before authorizing payments to support a participant's placement or continued residence, verify that the residence is accredited by the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), chartered or formally recognized by Oxford House, or recognized by another recovery housing organization approved by Travis County. - Coordinate eligible, non-capital accreditation-related scholarships for recovery residences when authorized. - Ensure funds are not used for construction, renovation, repairs, property acquisition, furnishings, equipment, or other capital expenses. - Maintain complete and accurate records of eligibility determinations, approvals, payments, supporting documents, remaining balances, and participant outcomes. - Deliver services at the Recovery Community Center and in community settings such as recovery residences, healthcare and MOUD programs, youth-serving organizations, and partner locations. - Provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and person-centered services that respect identity, lived experience, participant choice, and multiple pathways of recovery. - Assess preferred language and communication needs; coordinate interpretation, language assistance, disability-related accommodations, and accessible documents when needed. - Communicate through appropriate participant-selected methods, including in person, telephone, text, email, virtual meetings, or coordination through referral partners, consistent with consent and confidentiality requirements. - Ensure that lack of a phone, computer, internet connection, transportation, or technology skills does not prevent an eligible participant from accessing services. - Assist participants with electronic applications, virtual appointments, online resource searches, and access to housing, employment, education, healthcare, and recovery support resources. - Use the organization's Recovery Data Platform to document intake, assessments, referrals, service activities, financial assistance, housing placement, follow-up contacts, barriers, and outcomes accurately and on time. - Obtain and document participant consent before sharing information; comply with confidentiality requirements, organizational policies, grant conditions, and applicable law. - Monitor referral and placement patterns, provider responsiveness, housing retention, unmet needs, and systemic barriers; communicate trends and improvement opportunities to program leadership. - Participate in staff meetings, supervision, training, case consultation, community meetings, outreach activities, and program evaluation or quality-improvement efforts. - Maintain professional boundaries and perform other related duties that support program goals and contract requirements. Then after that there is "Working Conditions and Physical Requirements". We'll put that as a

    under Responsibilities maybe after the list, or we could make a separate

    Responsibilities

    and then a

    for working conditions. But the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. So we can include working conditions as a

    under Responsibilities. Now Requirements (

We need to turn each sentence into
    • . Some sentences are long; we can split by period. Ensure we keep all info. Now Qualifications (

      Qualifications

      ) with Preferred Qualifications? Actually the posting has "Preferred Qualifications" heading? I see "Preferred Qualifications" not explicitly but after Minimum
