We would like to grow this practice.</p>
<p>
The unit director will also be responsible for managing the administrative aspects of the unit, including grant management and reporting, identifying, and pursuing new funding opportunities, monitoring client intake processes, managing day-to-day personnel issues, advocating with the courts and participating in policy advocacy and advocacy focused on funding for homeownership preservation services.</p>
