United Way of Weld County builds powerful partnerships to bring about lasting community-wide change. With the support of United Way donors, volunteers and partners, together we are building a better Weld County, one where every household has the opportunity to succeed. 

The Housing Navigation Center (HNC) is a physical location where those experiencing homelessness receive support to regain housing and those at risk of homelessness are prevented from losing their housing. As part of Weld’s Way Home, Weld County’s initiative to address and prevent homelessness, the HNC provides low barrier access to housing centered services ranging from homelessness prevention to temporary cold weather shelter. 

 

The Cold Weather Shelter Housing Program Assistant supports the Housing Assistant team, specifically in the Day Shelter. This position is also responsible for brokering community resources with guests, general administrative tasks, and maintaining cleanliness of the shelter. The position maintains professional relationships and clear communication with guests receiving services and community agencies providing services. The position requires regular direct services and careful documentation in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to track guest progress, with the goal of securing permanent housing. The person in this role will use a Housing First focus to assist in shelter operations and tasks. They will work directly with people experiencing homelessness to provide a safe, effective, and welcoming seasonal emergency shelter.
