As an important part of the Good Samaritan Housing Team, the Diversion Specialist will collaborate with community partners to divert and prevent individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis from becoming homeless by providing intervention services. They will conduct in-depth assessments of the needs and barriers of people at risk of experiencing homelessness, and then connect those individuals with the appropriate services and resources that will enable them to remain housed permanently. Mediation with family, landlords, and other interested parties will be a responsibility for this position. Additionally, they will make referrals to partner agencies and track outcomes related to diversion activities.
