Careers

Talented, motivated employees are the Coalition’s
best guarantee of success.

We strive to create a dynamic and challenging organization that will encourage and acknowledge both individual contributions and team effort and strive to continually improve productivity. There are two parts to the employment process: the employment application and authorization to complete a background check. The application process takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer

The Coalition for the Homeless is a non-profit community-based organization serving the homeless, as well as individuals and families who are at risk of becoming homeless, in the District of Columbia. We strive to help individuals and families fulfill their potential for self-sufficiency by providing a range of residential and social services, with an emphasis on transitional and semi-independent housing. As a leading provider of services to the homeless, the Coalition develops cooperative linkages in the community and promotes appropriate public policy.

DC Residents Preferred. 

Authorization Forms

If offered employment, you will need to complete a background check and fingerprint authorization documents. By law, these documents must have your original signature.

Current Opportunities

There are no open positions with the Coalition at this time.

We encourage you to check back periodically for future opportunities to join our team and support our mission of helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Washington, DC.

In the meantime, learn more about our work, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support our mission.
