The unit's work targets a broad group of people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. However, we are not responsible for housing solutions for individuals needing care and treatment due to addiction issues, extensive psychiatric problems, or criminality.

In your professional role, you will have both an investigative and regulatory role while also having an advisory and outreach function in the eviction prevention work. You will investigate and make decisions regarding the right to assistance for housing, follow up on the granted assistance, and reassess the right to continued assistance. You will place individuals within framework agreements for supported housing but also handle financial assistance for those experiencing structural homelessness.

You will actively work with processes, establish action plans, and assignments. You will support individuals towards independence. You will have close collaboration with housing support staff working with contract follow-ups, housing searches, and housing planning.

Internal and external collaboration is a significant part of your work. This includes external collaboration with landlords and the enforcement authority.
