Institute for Community Alliances
POSITION SUMMARY
The Institute for Community Alliances (ICA) is nonprofit organization and a national leader in the administration of Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). ICA has administered Missouri’s HMIS since 2014. Missouri’s HMIS is a web-based database used by over 140 organizations across the six (6) CoC HMIS implementation, such as emergency shelters and housing providers, to collect data on households experiencing or at risk of homelessness. HMIS is used to report to funders, evaluate and inform community- and state-wide responses to homelessness, connect people experiencing homelessness with housing and services, and support research and advocacy efforts.
This new role is dedicated to supporting youth homeless services in the Balance of State Continuum of Care, including the coordinated community initiative called the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) which builds on existing, successful community efforts.
This position will lead projects and make connections at the systems-level (act as a decision maker, convener, facilitator, instigator, driving work forward). They will provide support and training to agencies who serve youth to use the HMIS in a collective, system-wide manner. They will seek ways to leverage HMIS as a tool to serve youth effectively and help agencies, the BoS CoC, and the Youth Action Board (YAB) leadership define success, and establish and measure outcomes, while ensuring compliance with federal guidelines.
Under the direction of the HMIS Manager, and in cooperation with other ICA team members, the YHDP Project Coordinator will work with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure the YHDP project is successfully implemented in HMIS. This position will provide project-based technical support to YHDP service agencies and database end users using the HMIS and act as HMIS YHDP Liaison within the CoC.
This position is a remote position – but does require Missouri Residency.
