Position Summary

The Salvation Army Northern Division Harbor Light Center (HLC) and satellite locations is "Doing the Most Good " by providing shelter, housing, and holistic, person-centered, supportive services to over 300 single adults each night. HLC also offers worship services, pastoral care, and connections to community partners.

The Lead Housing Advocate provides direct support to adults experiencing homelessness by building relationships, offering advocacy, and ensuring a safe and welcoming shelter environment. Advocates assist participants in navigating shelter expectations, accessing services, and responding to crises.
