Description

Hope Mission Statement The mission of Hope the Mission is to prevent, reduce and eliminate poverty, hunger, and homelessness by offering immediate assistance and long-term solutions. Position Purpose and Summary Interim housing sites run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The quality of each shift depends a lot on who is leading it.

Reporting to the Program Manager or Assistant Program Manager, the LCSM is the on-shift leader for Client Service Monitors across assigned Hope the Mission interim housing sites. This role makes sure that safety protocols, wellness checks, documentation, and site procedures are followed consistently every single shift — and is the first to respond when they aren't. The LCSM leads by example and acts as a bridge between non-management, management, and site operations. When an incident happens, when a participant escalates, when a staff member needs guidance in the moment, the LCSM handles it until a manager arrives or the situation is resolved. The persons in our interim housing communities deserve consistency at every hour of the day. This role is how that consistency gets delivered.
