Part Time Inland Housing Solutions Jobs (NOW HIRING)

VAWA Advisor (ON-CALL Role) - Housing & Community Development

Your passion is supporting communities by advancing safe, stable housing solutions and applying best practices to serve survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, as well as low- and moderate-income families. At ICF, you can put that passion into action by joining our team of experts working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide specialized technical assistance grounded in Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) requirements and protections.

In this role, you will bring deep expertise in VAWA compliance, survivor-centered approaches, and housing protections to support federal housing programs. You will help grantees and stakeholders strengthen policies, procedures, and service delivery to ensure alignment with VAWA regulations and best practices for serving survivors.

This position is ON-CALL (part-time with variable hours) and fully remote. Assignments are made on a demand-response basis, so hours are flexible and project-driven. Apply today to become part of our team of experts dedicated to advancing equitable, safe housing solutions for vulnerable populations.

What you'll be doing:

• Work with a diverse set of stakeholders, including Tribes, Continuums of Care (CoCs), Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), multifamily owners/operators, and service providers, to deliver technical assistance aligned with VAWA requirements and survivor housing protections.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on VAWA compliance across HUD programs, including Tribal, single-family, multifamily, and housing counseling, with a focus on emergency transfers, lease bifurcation, confidentiality requirements, and survivor rights.
• Provide guidance to grantees and housing providers on integrating trauma-informed, survivor-centered approaches into policies, procedures, and service delivery.
• Develop and deliver training sessions, conference presentations, workshops, and webinars on VAWA implementation, compliance, and best practices for supporting survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
• Facilitate technical assistance engagements to assess needs, recommend actionable strategies, and support implementation of VAWA-aligned policies and procedures.
• Support the development of tools, templates, and resources (e.g., emergency transfer plans, policies, compliance checklists), as well as reports and policy guidance related to VAWA and housing stability.
• Apply a survivor-centered lens across all deliverables, ensuring culturally responsive approaches that address disparities in access to safe housing.
• Stay current on HUD guidance, VAWA reauthorizations, and evolving best practices, translating requirements into practical guidance for stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications you'll need to have:

• Master's Degree or equivalent in Social and Behavioral Science, Public Administration, Planning, Public Policy, Government, or a related discipline

• Demonstrated experience interpreting and applying VAWA provisions, including emergency transfers, lease bifurcation, confidentiality protections, and survivor rights.
• Experience developing and delivering training, workshops, and webinars on VAWA, fair housing, or related compliance topics; facilitating engagements; and presenting to diverse audiences.

Preferred Skills/Experience:

• Experience providing technical assistance or direct services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
• Knowledge of trauma-informed and survivor-centered approaches and experience integrating these principles into housing or service delivery models.
• Experience collaborating with cross-sector partners, including housing providers and victim service organizations
