Housing Director jobs in Fort Smith, AR

Compliance and Housing Program Processor Job Description

In 2015, Governor Asa Hutchinson asked Restore Hope Arkansas to bridge the

recognized gap between government services and communities struggling to reduce

the rate of incarceration, to facilitate a successful re-entry from incarceration to

freedom, and to reduce the number of children entering our state’s foster care system.

For communities to improve, their most vulnerable must have knowledge of and

access to services. For this reason, Restore Hope acts as a brokering agency to connect community and government leadership to each other and those in need of services.

Restore Hope brings technical assistance, technology, and communities together to

solve complicated issues.

The 100 Families Initiative is an innovative model that helps parents move from crisis to career using existing community resources. In the model, an alliance of community

members coordinate together around a collective impact methodology. By engaging community partner organizations in this alliance format, Restore Hope has trained agencies on a collaborative case management system, assisted communities in analyzing data that brought light to needs specific to their community, and developed community-specific programs based on community data and proven needs-aligned services so that service providers better know how to respond when a family is in crisis. Through these expanded, formalized partnerships, the 100 Families Initiative streamlines and coordinates services for those who need it and improves communication between service providers, ultimately ensuring that families in crisis receive the help they need while reducing service gaps and preventing duplication of services, resulting in a more effective and efficient social sector.
