Job description

ABOUT US: - We believe that everyone deserves a home!
Breaking Ground operates nearly 4,000 units of housing across New York City, along with housing in upstate New York and Connecticut. Supportive housing - affordable housing paired with services designed to help people maintain their homes for the long-term - is widely recognized as a proven and cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness.
But we didn't stop at providing housing. Breaking Ground's programs and services help people experiencing street homelessness - especially those who have been on the streets the longest - to come indoors. Through our Street to Home outreach program and transitional housing resources, we help people get, and stay, on the path to a permanent home.
Located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the W. 83rd Street Safe Haven is comprised of 108 units for individuals not yet ready to transition into permanent housing, as well as those who may have struggled in other housing programs. West 83rd Street offers an alternative to life on the street: private, safe, clean, and affordable short-term accommodations. On-site case management and clinical services are available to meet the needs of its residents and to help those ready to move into secure permanent housing.
Reporting to the Assistant Program Director, the Harm Reduction Specialist for S2H Queeens will be located at 100-30/32 Atlantic Ave. Richmond Hill, NY 11416339 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211 serving people experiencing homelessness (some with mental illness and/or substance use disorders) in order to assist the individual in the transitioning to permanent housing.

This position's hours are Monday-Friday 9:00am - 5:00pm with one late evening per week e.g. 11:00am - 7:00 pm; and it has a 35-hour work week
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Create and manage core Harm Reduction based curriculum at the Safe Haven

  • Coordinate and facilitate groups with clients
  • Assist program leadership in creating trainings for staff that ensure Harm Reduction practices are being taught and exercised by staff
  • Ensure all staff are aware of needle stick prevention methods and agency policy and procedure around responding to needle sticks
  • Ensure that there are adequate syringe disposal containers on site that are strategically located throughout the program site and will ensure that containers are emptied regularly
  • Ensure there are always safer-sex resources available to clients that are accessible in common spaces
  • Liaise with on-site psychiatric and primary care provider, to support treatment planning which includes medications aimed at reducing/eliminating alcohol use
  • Perform other related duties as assigned

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
