• Promote a comprehensive plan of social services to establish family stability, address issues of family dysfunction, ensure receipt of appropriate benefits and entitlements and expedite successful relocation to permanent housing.
• Administer all on-site human resources functions, including staff hiring, evaluation, supervision and training to maximize achievement of programs, agency goals and development of staff.
• Plan, develop and implement facility programmatic policies and procedures to ensure uniformity of services within each division, compliance with regulatory and agency requirements and synchronization with other homeless services functions.
• Build an interdisciplinary, multi-shift, multi-cultural, professional and para-professional staff. Develop an effective team to ensure coordinated, high quality service provisions and interdisciplinary staff collaboration.
• Manage the timely collection, analysis and presentation of clients, programmatic and administrative data to provide timely reports, ensure regulatory compliance, evaluate program performance and determine unmet client needs.
• Participate in the development of annual operating budgets through review of financial history, identification of unmet needs and assessment of future trends to ensure the fiscal stability of the program, maximize available resources and provide proper accountability.
