We are looking for a passionate individual with local knowledge to help us find a space where we can continue to grow and support our mission. Your research and expertise will help create a welcoming, child-friendly environment where our programs can thrive and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

- Prepare letters requesting the use of vacant buildings or funding to rent a property.
Evaluating Spaces:
- Visit properties to check if they meet our standards for a safe, welcoming environment.
- Compare each property against our needs, including rent costs, layout, and potential for a long-term stay.
- Look over rental agreements to ensure they meet our charity’s needs.
Financial Planning and Reporting:
- Review and manage costs for renting or renovating each property to make sure they fit within our budget.
- Provide clear reports that explain each property’s costs and long-term value.
Working with Our Team:
- Work closely with our team and other partners to gather feedback on property requirements.
- Keep everyone updated on progress, challenges, and options.
