About Anthos|Home
Anthos|Home is an innovative new nonprofit that will transform the system by which New York City residents with housing subsidies locate and rent available housing.
Anthos|Home is modeled on Brilliant Corners in California, a successful housing clearinghouse that uses a flexible pool of funding to administer and quickly find apartments for tenants.
Anthos|Home will help to streamline the apartment search, approval, and move-in processes, and fill in gaps in the current NYC voucher housing market process. The organization will be a game- changer for New Yorkers who are unhoused or at risk of homelessness and for the public systems that serve them.
The Vice President of Tenant Coordination and Aftercare (VPTC&A) will be responsible for matching tenants to housing, supporting tenants to move into housing and ensuring housing stability. S/he will report to the Chief Program Officer and play a key role in setting up the operations of the unit. The VPTC&A will help to create and develop an individualized process to match units to households based on household preference, needs, and priorities. The goal of the office is to eliminate the duplication of resources and inefficiencies in the housing search and matching process. Under the current model, Anthos|Home will secure a bank of apartments for clients to access ensuring that matching can happen quickly.
It is envisioned that this position will supervise a team of tenant coordinator managers and supervisors. The VPTC&A will hire and oversee a team of individuals who will work with households from the beginning of the voucher process to when they move into an apartment. In addition to matching potential tenants to apartments, the VPTC&A will support tenants to ensure they are able to remain stably housed. The team will be the key point of contact for both tenants and landlords as issues arise.
The ideal candidate will be creative, mission-driven and entrepreneurial in finding ways to support tenants and landlords. S/he will love working in a complex and dynamic environment with rapid change and can be flexible to adjust and pivot as needed. S/he enjoys working collaboratively but is also able to get things done independently. A positive, can-do attitude Is essential. The VPTC&A will need to work with nonprofit agencies, the city, voucher holders and landlords and love working with others.
