Landlord Engagement Specialist (Part-Time)

The YWCA’s Landlord Engagement Project creates pathways to housing for families in need, while working side by side with landlords to increase access to rental homes across Snohomish County.  

In this role, the Landlord Engagement Specialist receives referrals from Snohomish County’s Rapid Rehousing, Housing Navigators, and Permanent Supportive Housing providers to help households secure a home. The Specialist also helps landlords understand the program’s efforts to end homelessness and provides resources that support both landlords and tenants in achieving successful placement and long-term housing stability. In addition, the Specialist works with partners to problem-solve housing challenges for families facing significant barriers to finding and keeping housing. 

This position carries a social justice component that invites critical reflection on how external systems, including racism and poverty, affect housing access. Valuing diversity and advancing anti-racism are central to this work, and as an equal opportunity employer we strongly encourage people of color to apply. This position is also a strong fit for retired real estate agents, apartment or property managers, or individuals familiar with the rental market, fair housing, and private or corporate landlord operations.
