SSVF Carolinas - Community Engagement Housing Specialist - Rocky Mount (69613)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role? The job summary is like a summary. Could be "About the role" or "Job Summary". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about organization. Could be "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We can map "Company Overview" to "About the role". Or we could create a section "About the role" containing the company overview and job summary. But we must not repeat job title as heading. We can include "About the role" heading with company overview and job summary. - Responsibilities: we have many bullet points (list). Use

• . - Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" heading then subheadings "REQUIREMENTS", "Other", "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities", "Physical Requirements". We need to decide sections: maybe "Requirements" and "Qualifications" and "Skills". The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have content that fits. We need to avoid boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. Not present. Thus we will output:

  We might also include a section "Other Duties" but that's boilerplate; we should drop. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. The responsibilities list is long; we need to capture each bullet. Let's extract responsibilities from the text: Responsibilities section includes many sentences. Let's list them: - Provide outreach support for SSVF Program and case management teams and act as an additional resource for Case Managers - Coordinate client outreach and landlord recruitment efforts for SSVF Program - Outreach Workers spend most of their time communicating, so communication skills are a must - Develops inter-agency relationships to enhance the referral processes - Serve as liaison with local landlords, community organizations and other potential agency resources - Coordinate and maintain good landlord/tenant relations - Facilitate and/or conduct outreach activities including presentations to service providers and potential landlords, community fairs, one on one engagement, and education on available housing resources - Attends and participates in public meetings and presentations to explain the SSVF program - Facilitates and encourages the exchange of information with local, county, and regional agencies - Facilitates the coordination of services with community partners, as assigned - Maintains and updates knowledge through conferences, seminars and in-service trainings as determined in consultation with SSVF leadership - Coordinate outreach efforts for the SSVF Program including but not limited to: establish an outreach plan to target the participants as outlined in the SSVF program guidelines, develop a set schedule to visit the VA, shelters, and other places that homeless and low-income families (Veterans) are likely to congregate, and develop communication/ updates with the VA and other key housing and community providers - Work with persons served, family members, collaborating housing agencies and professionals to establish SSVF services and additional resources - Travel to housing sites to engage landlords and property managers, etc via recruitment efforts, distributing brochures, flyers, and other program marketing items - Communicate effectively (under confidentiality rules) with clients service team with services or supports regarding SSVF program services and housing - Ensure participant category reassessments are completed according to specific SSVF requirements - Participate in program and professional supervision, attend required staff Team meetings and trainings, and contribute to team-based collaborative planning - Complete all appropriate reporting for SSVF goals and targeting - Complete other duties as needed and requested Also there is a "HOUSING SPECIALIST ROLE" paragraph after responsibilities: "Assist low-income Veteran households with identifying and obtaining or retaining safe, stable and affordable permanent housing. Outreach to rental-property owners and other resources in the community. Establish a pool of rental properties in our service areas to then rapidly rehouse homeless Veterans as well as their families. Work with landlords to negotiate rent or move-in deposits on behalf of the Veteran household. Effect On End Result Establish positive community and landlord relationships that will foster successful placements..." This seems like additional responsibilities; we could incorporate into responsibilities or maybe a separate section? But we have no heading for it; we could treat as part of responsibilities. We need to preserve all substantive info, so include that paragraph as part of responsibilities (maybe as a

  before the list). However instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So we can have a

    for the prose description (the HOUSING SPECIALIST ROLE paragraph) and then a

    for the list of duties. Thus responsibilities section:

    Responsibilities

    then a

    containing the HOUSING SPECIALIST ROLE paragraph (maybe also the first sentence "Outreach duties promotes programs..."?). Actually the Job Summary earlier: "Outreach duties promotes programs and resources to homeless individuals in the community and performs a variety of services to encourage homeless individuals to participate in the SSVF program that enable them to obtain housing and or remain housed and stable." That's also prose. We could include that in About the role or responsibilities. Let's put it in About the role as part of overview. Simplify: About the role includes company overview and job summary. Responsibilities includes the HOUSING SPECIALIST ROLE paragraph and the list. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's craft. Company Overview paragraph(s): The text from "Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas empowers self-reliance..." through "...financially rewarding opportunities." That's a few sentences. We'll keep as

    . Job Summary: "Outreach duties promotes programs and resources to homeless individuals in the community and performs a variety of services to encourage homeless individuals to participate in the SSVF program that enable them to obtain housing and or remain housed and stable." We'll include as another

    maybe. Now responsibilities: first the HOUSING SPECIALIST ROLE paragraph: "Assist low-income Veteran households with identifying and obtaining or retaining safe, stable and affordable permanent housing. Outreach to rental-property owners and other resources in the community. Establish a pool of rental properties in our service areas to then rapidly rehouse homeless Veterans as well as their families. Work with landlords to negotiate rent or move-in deposits on behalf of the Veteran household. Effect On End Result Establish positive community and landlord relationships that will foster successful placements and housing stability in the SSVF program. Provide engagement efforts that will meet targeted goals for the program and community recognition and growth of the organization. Operational efficiency, service delivery and financial performance will be improved." We need to keep that as prose (

    ). Then the list of duties as

    • ...>. Now Qualifications: we have "QUALIFICATIONS" heading then subheadings. We'll split into Requirements, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Physical Requirements. Requirements: includes the bullet list under "REQUIREMENTS" and "Other". Actually "Other" includes driving requirements etc. We'll combine. We need to avoid headings like "Other". We'll just include all under Requirements. Thus Requirements list: - A High School Diploma or GED with previous work experience is required. - A minimum of 2 years experience working with homeless individuals and families including veterans is preferred. - Veteran or member of a veteran family is a plus. - This position requires driving your personal vehicle for company business. Must be privileged to drive according to the criteria set forth by Agency MVR guidelines. Valid drivers license in jurisdiction of residence. Vehicle liability coverage if driving personal vehicle (on occasion, may be required to transport clients in personal vehicle). May be required to drive a van. Acceptable Criminal background check, OIG Exclusion check. Negative Drug Screening. CPR/First Aid Certification must be acquired and maintained once employed. Now Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list as earlier. Physical Requirements: list as earlier. Now we should not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML. Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
