The Roy Street Director II will lead Social Impact Center Y’s service delivery and building oversight at the Roy Street Transitional Living Program located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, WA. Roy Street TLP has 40 units of housing for young adults ages 18-24 in one apartment building. The Roy Street Program Director will supervise a team of Case Managers who will work directly with a caseload of residents, coordinate community service provider engagement, oversee volunteer support, manage and foster relationships with King County Regional Homelessness Authority and other community businesses, resources, and services. The Y Social Impact Center Y is the service provider that will provide young adult residents with direct services to achieve self-identified goals and increase stability in their lives. The Roy Street Program Director will supervise staff that will be onsite 24 hours per day. Evenings, Weekends, and overnight requirements will occur occasionally as needed. The ability to work occasionally out of the Y’s other Seattle/King County offices will also be an expectation of the position. This position will report to and work closely with Social Impact Center’s Program Director III of Facility-Based Housing and Homeless Services to manage and facilitate the programmatic vision, philosophy, and approach at Roy Street to meet our mission of accelerating young people’s ability to build safe, successful and happy lives.
This position is with the Y Social Impact Center, the social services division of the YMCA of Greater Seattle (YGS), serving around 5,000 youth, young adults, and families every year in communities across King County, Pierce County, and various counties across WA. Through our programs we aim to strengthen young people’s ability to develop to their fullest potential through four strategies: reducing risk factors; navigating systems towards successful life transition; establishing stability, safety and wellness in times of crisis; and building competencies and social capital. The Social Impact Center’s programs include homelessness prevention, housing, behavioral health, crisis response, foster care licensing, violence prevention, and employment. Since many of the young people we serve have been involved in the foster care, criminal justice, behavioral health, and/or homelessness systems, we truly value relatable lived experience of our staff and those applying for our positions as an asset.
