Position's Primary Objectives:

The Mobile Outreach Worker provides individualized, person-centered support to tenants of Pacifica Housing across multiple sites and within the community. This role is designed to meet tenants where they are, extending flexible, mobile, and ongoing support services that promote housing stability, health, and overall quality of life. Guided by a harm reduction and Housing First philosophy, Mobile Outreach Workers help tenants address barriers such as mental health challenges, substance use, poverty, and social isolation while fostering resilience, autonomy, and community connection.

Mobile Outreach Workers are accountable for delivering comprehensive services that may include advocacy, crisis intervention, life skills development, health navigation, and support with financial or tenancy-related responsibilities. They also provide backup to site staff, respond to emergencies including overdoses, and act as a key connector between tenants and external community resources. By building meaningful, professional relationships and supporting tenants in achieving their individualized goals, Mobile Outreach Workers contribute to safer, healthier, and more inclusive communities.
