Many Mansions, Adult Residential Services Overview

Many Mansions believes that everyone deserves a place to call home.  It is from this belief that Many Mansions strives to provide affordable, quality, services-enriched rental housing for formerly homeless and those of very low income in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.  Our Adult Residential Services Division provides a comprehensive program designed to support residents’ housing stability and help them achieve economic resiliency, self-sufficiency, social integration, and overall improved wellbeing. Our Supportive Services program was built to support previously homeless residents’ transition out of homelessness. The program (operating according to Housing First principles), provides wraparound, on-site support as well as works with an extensive network of external partners that provide residents with additional resources and services. The Community Services program provides additional support to our low-income households through resources referrals, programmatic support, intermittent case management, as needed, and added programmatic support for all residents and clients. The Transitional Rent program is a new Medi-Cal CalAIM initiative that Many Mansions will implement in the County of Ventura in coordination with the County’s Managed Care Providers (MCPs) and Ventura County Behavioral Health, and in partnership with an extensive network of external partners. It will provide housing navigation, tenancy support, resource referrals, and rent subsidies administration to members of the County’s MCPs. 

Position Description (brief):

The Housing Navigation & Stabilization Coordinator provides both direct housing navigation and tenancy sustaining case management to Medi-Cal members participating in the Transitional Rent Program, a new CalAIM Community Support implemented in partnership with the County’s Managed Care Plans (MCPs) and Ventura County Behavioral Health.

This hybrid position is responsible for helping clients locate and secure housing (Navigation) and supporting housed clients to maintain stable tenancy (Stabilization). The Specialist will carry a mixed caseload, with some clients actively searching for housing and others already placed and receiving ongoing tenancy support.

 This position works closely with landlords, property managers, referral partners, partner agencies’ case managers, and internal staff to ensure timely placements, accurate documentation, and high-quality, trauma-informed services.

The role is field-based and requires strong problem-solving skills, excellent engagement and motivational skills, compassion, and an ability to navigate complex housing systems while supporting clients with diverse needs.
