Job Description

Tenderloin Housing Clinic (THC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing housing and comprehensive support services to low-income adults, particularly those living in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. THC employs a "Housing First" model, which prioritizes providing permanent housing solutions for individuals experiencing homelessness without preconditions. The organization is committed to fostering community engagement, improving tenant wellbeing, and ensuring access to essential resources. Their work extends beyond housing to include supportive services that promote stability, health, and independence for residents. Tenderloin Housing Clinic is recognized for its inclusive and compassionate approach to addressing the complex challenges faced by vulnerable populations.

The position of Activities Coordinator plays a critical role within THC by enhancing the quality of life for tenants in permanent supportive housing facilities. The Activities Coordinator collaborates closely with Support Services and Property Management teams to plan, organize, and facilitate engaging social and life skills activities that help build positive community environments. This role is designed for individuals who are passionate about community development and eager to make a meaningful impact on the lives of low-income adults. Responsibilities include coordinating a broad range of tenant-focused events and workshops that cover skills development, social engagement, and health education. The Activities Coordinator also manages logistics such as securing supplies, maintaining partnerships with external organizations, and overseeing budgets to ensure effective use of resources. In addition to event planning and implementation, this role involves volunteer coordination, tenant communication, and contributing to organizational initiatives such as the Annual Tenant Appreciation Day. The position requires hands-on involvement including driving THC’s truck for supply deliveries and acting as a primary liaison for external service partners.

The full-time Activities Coordinator position offers competitive compensation at $30.00 per hour along with a robust benefits package. THC supports their employees with medical, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, professional development, and more. This role demands a highly organized, dependable, and creative individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is skilled in engaging diverse populations. The ideal candidate will have prior experience working with low-income or formerly homeless populations, strong coordination and communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently. THC is committed to equality and inclusiveness in its hiring practices, welcoming applicants of all backgrounds including those with arrest or conviction records. This is an excellent opportunity for motivated professionals seeking to contribute to a respected organization dedicated to social justice, community empowerment, and housing stability.
