Reentry Housing Coordinator

Help Open Doors to Second Chances.

Housing changes everything. Your work will help create the stability that makes employment, recovery, family reunification, and successful community reintegration possible. Stable housing is one of the strongest predictors of successful reentry and one of the greatest challenges facing individuals returning from incarceration.

Cornerstone Community Initiative (CCI), a new nonprofit in Monroe County, is seeking a passionate, resourceful, and relationship-driven Reentry Housing Coordinator to lead housing navigation and stabilization efforts for justice-involved individuals returning to Monroe County from incarceration.

This isn't just a housing navigation role. You'll work directly with participants, landlords, housing authorities, property managers, nonprofit partners, and community organizations to create housing opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and help individuals build stable foundations for long-term success.

Lived Experience is Valued

At Cornerstone Community Initiative, we believe lived experience strengthens our organization and helps us better serve our community.

We strongly encourage applicants with personal or familial lived experience related to incarceration, recovery, behavioral health, or navigating complex community systems to apply.

If you're passionate about housing, community collaboration, and helping people rebuild their lives, we'd love to meet you.

Job Overview

The Reentry Housing Coordinator serves as CCI's housing subject matter expert, leading efforts to increase housing access, stability, and opportunity for justice-involved individuals.

Working collaboratively with participants, landlords, housing providers, housing authorities, and community partners, you'll coordinate housing services, reduce barriers to housing stability, monitor participant progress, and support the development of current and future housing initiatives—including transitional housing.
