We are looking for a dynamic Housing Coordinator to be an integral member of the Housing team. This position is responsible for ensuring advocate work activities align with the program needs, including crisis counseling, risk assessment, safety planning and longer term support focused on preventing homelessness. Survivors define their own needs, and NDS advocates support them to achieve their healing goals. The Coordinator provides crucial guidance and direction to advocates as needed especially with difficult situations and complex cases. This position will set the standard for quality across the agency by serving as a role model as well as a foundational trainer. You will play an important role in ensuring the community receives vital support services. Your ability to communicate, stay organized and share your expertise will help create a healthy environment that supports our organization as we work to support survivors and create a safer community.

Our mission is to end domestic violence in the moment and for all time.

In 1971, our founder Bea Robinson Mendez, concerned about the lack of services and options for domestic violence survivors, gathered a small group of her friends to figure out a solution. They set up a shelter in a garage and established a hotline number to provide information and support to survivors. Unbeknownst to them, it would become the second domestic violence agency in California and the first bilingual domestic violence shelter in the nation. So began the story of Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence (NDS). Domestic violence is the most prevalent form of gender-based violence, often the most frequently reported crime and arguably the one with the greatest damaging effect on our families, youth, and communities. We are the only stand-alone, domestic violence agency in Santa Clara County, answering approximately 15,000 crisis calls and serving an average of 3,000 survivors of domestic violence annually. Our comprehensive, compassionate, bilingual and multicultural services are available free of charge to all individuals across the gender spectrum and of varying abilities.
