About the Role: Reporting to the Deputy Executive Director for Advocacy, the Supervisor of the New Arrivals Monitoring Team (“Supervisor”) will be a dedicated advocate for unhoused migrant individuals and families who, since April 2022, have been arriving in New York seeking shelter and other emergency services (“New Arrivals”). A key member of the Advocacy Department of the Coalition for the Homeless, the Supervisor will play a critical role in ensuring the City’s compliance with the May 15, 2024 settlement in Callahan v. Carey (“Settlement”) which sets forth a framework to address the influx of New Arrivals. Because this is a new position, it is a great opportunity for anyone seeking to participate in designing and implementing a new program, and identifying advocacy, monitoring, and outreach plans in a newly established system.
Building upon the Coalition’s existing shelter monitoring framework, the Supervisor will work collaboratively with the Supervisor of the Shelter Rights Monitoring Team to develop plans and protocols to best achieve the aforementioned goal. This role will entail managing a small staff and coordinating their day-to-day monitoring and advocacy activities. The Supervisor will also visit New Arrivals shelters throughout the City in order to document violations and other problems. Together with the New Arrivals Monitoring Team, the Supervisor will engage with shelter residents for the purpose of providing referrals to Coalition programs and, as appropriate, communicating directly with the Coalition’s legal counsel and/or City staff to immediately resolve residents’ problems. In collaboration with Advocacy Department staff and the Coalition’s legal counsel, the Supervisor will establish priorities and goals for monitoring and policy initiatives. The Supervisor will also help organize, support, and mobilize New Arrival residents for advocacy campaigns and events.
NOTE: It is uncertain how long the temporary framework set forth in the Settlement for New Arrivals will be in effect. Nonetheless, the Coalition is planning to retain New Arrivals Monitors until at least September 30, 2026 and will modify job responsibilities as necessary should the temporary framework set forth in the Settlement end earlier.
