CoC Staff 

Join the team

Thanks for your interest! River Valleys CoC is seeking applicants for the following positions: 
  • Coordinated Entry Housing Navigator. River Valleys CoC is seeking a mission-driven Coordinated Entry Housing Navigator to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness move more quickly and efficiently into stable housing. This role is about more than referrals — it is about removing barriers, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that our Coordinated Entry System (CES) works effectively for the people who rely on it most. If you are ready to combine direct service, systems coordination, and community partnership to help more people move home, we want to hear from you.

​River Valleys CoC staff are employees of the Institute for Community Alliances. Application requirements and information about ICA employee benefits are available on the ICA website. 

Looking for another opportunity?

We don't have any other open positions right now, but we'd still love to hear from you. If you think River Valleys CoC might be a place for you to use your passion, experiences, or skills to make homelessness history, send us a note. We also accept internship and student project proposals from time to time. ​

Meet the team

As a community-based coalition, River Valleys CoC staff are employed directly by agencies in the region, or are brought on through subgrantee partnerships and limited term contracts. No matter where we are based, we support the River Valleys CoC coalition to meet its goals and obligations.
