About The Position

Mission Action has been growing rapidly, therefore, we have created a lot of new positions in different programs. Please consider joining our team to serve the communities. Mission Action nurtures individual wellness and cultivates collective power among low-income and immigrant communities to create a more just society. As a multi-issue, multi-strategy organization, we work to improve lives on an individual level as well as affect broader social change by engaging in advocacy and community organizing. We work together across programs to address homelessness, lack of affordable housing, and to support immigrant rights in order to meet the complex needs of our communities and collectively address the root causes of suffering and injustice. The primary role of the Program Manager is the administration and program management of the Dolores Shelter Program. The Dolores Shelter Program consists of 4 small emergency shelters, some of which serve homeless men and a recently opened fourth serving the LGBTQ community. The shelter program also includes a kitchen and delivery system that provides food to all the shelters and a local Mission Action supportive housing program. It is the responsibility of the Program Manager to oversee the day to day operations of all shelters and the kitchen. Along with the Director of Housing and Shelter Programs, the Program Manager evaluates the impact and effectiveness of the shelters and establishes long- and short-term goals for the program. He or she oversees the staffing structure to effectively accomplish those programmatic goals and objectives. The Program Manager takes the lead in managing contracts with partner agencies, city departments and the community.
