Ward 8 Direct Hire Job Opportunity Event

L. S. Caldwell & Associates, Inc. (LSC) was contracted by Community of Hope to provide Project Management services for developing and implementing a Community Outreach Event that invited qualified Ward 8 residents for personal interviews for over 35 job opportunities, which included: Housing Program Director, Short Term Family Housing, Short-Term Family Housing Case Manager, Resident Monitor, Resident Monitor Shift Supervisor and many other positions.

Community of Hope has worked tirelessly for almost four decades to impact the future for low-income, homeless and underserved families in Washington, DC. Originally founded as a compassionate ministry of the Church of the Nazarene, Community of Hope was incorporated as an independently-run nonprofit organization in 1980. As the needs of our community grew, they have expanded their services across the city, with the same holistic, compassionate approach that inspired their beginnings.
