Destination:Home – Initiatives Officer

Reporting to the Chief Program Officer, the Initiatives Officer is a core member of the Initiatives team, with a primary focus on the development, coordination and implementation of Destination: Home’s strategic initiatives:
• Centering and shifting power to people with lived experience with homelessness
and housing instability
• Guaranteed income and direct financial assistance programs toward income and
wealth equality and preventing homelessness
• Increasing access and equity for homeless and formerly homeless people.

Destination: Home, a 501(c)3 supporting organization of Silicon Valley Community Foundation, is a public-private partnership ending homelessness in Silicon Valley. Through our collective impact model, we convene and collaborate with stakeholders across our community to address the root causes of homelessness and drive true systemic change. We embrace a data-driven and human approach – advocating for policies, incubating new ideas and programs and investing in strategies to connect more of our homeless neighbors to a stable home and prevent homelessness before it begins. Our work is grounded in a commitment to advancing racial and socioeconomic justice – and working together, we can build a community where homelessness is rare, brief and non-recurring.
