Resident Advocate (Sunday-Thursday Overnight)

For more than 50 years, Insight Housing has provided a comprehensive range of housing, food, and support services to help those in need move from homelessness into a safe and affordable home of their own. We serve in seven counties in the bay area - Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa, Solano, Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Amador County. We are proud of our team members who are very dedicated to our mission of ensuring everyone in our community has a home through supportive, equitable, and sustainable housing solutions. 

Under supervision of the Program Manager, the Resident Advocate provides direct supportive services and supervision to homeless individuals in our women’s shelter. Responsibilities include program participant intakes, assisting with activities of daily living, HMIS data entry, assessing program participants to determine barriers to housing, assisting with completing documents, and providing referrals to various community services including substance abuse treatment, CES housing navigation, mental health services, benefits advocacy and veteran’s services.
