About the Organization

Our client is a CARF-accredited, mission-driven nonprofit that helps Veterans and their families in Palm Beach County find and keep stable housing.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

This is a team that truly cares, about the Veterans they serve and about each other. People here have each other’s backs, celebrate wins together, and support one another on the hard days.

Leadership is hands-on and approachable, training is real, and you’ll never be left to figure things out alone. If you want meaningful work where you can make a difference, without giving up great benefits or work-life balance, this is the place.

The Role

Most cases run about 90 days, and a full caseload is typically 20 to 25 households. You’ll help each household move from a housing crisis to a stable home, and you’ll see the impact of your work quickly.
