From Our Team
HAJC employees have the opportunity to see firsthand how stable housing can change lives. One staff member described beginning her HAJC career as a resident manager, where she worked directly with families from many different backgrounds and saw residents achieve goals such as employment, homeownership, and family reunification.
That experience led her to continue growing within the agency and build a long-term career serving households throughout Southern Oregon.
