Organizing Director

About Finding Home ATX

Finding Home ATX (FHATX) is an innovative coalition of business, government, social service providers, philanthropists and people with lived experience established in May 2020 following the Summit on Unsheltered Homelessness. FHATX’s vision is to strengthen Austin’s ability to address the homelessness crisis through collaboration and capacity building by leveraging the expertise and compassion of partners to advance the comprehensive homelessness response system plan. FHATX collaborates with community members, social services, policy advocates, and individuals with lived experience to identify and track philanthropic investments that address the critical needs and gaps outlined in the Summit Plan.

The Opportunity

The Organizing Director will play a vital leadership role in catalyzing collective action to address homelessness across Central Texas. As the strategic engine behind Finding Home ATX’s communications, organizing, and fundraising efforts, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape and amplify a unified community response to homelessness. The Organizing Director will work closely with a collaborative Leadership Group composed of the Downtown Austin Alliance, ECHO (Ending Community Homelessness Coalition), the City of Austin, Travis County, and a range of private and nonprofit partners. Together, they have coalesced around a shared goal: to create an equitable, data-driven, and lasting response to homelessness in Austin and across Travis, Williamson, and Bastrop counties. This is a rare chance to guide a regional coalition that has channeled over $465 million in investments toward transformative impact—an infrastructure poised for renewed leadership and strategic direction.

This part-time, flexible contract role is ideal for a respected Austin leader with a deep understanding of systems change, political dynamics, and the power of collaborative strategy—someone ready to shape the next chapter of homelessness response in Central Texas.

• Previous professional experience addressing homelessness and/or poverty in Austin
• Existing relationships and credibility amongst policymakers, funders, and service providers
• Familiarity with the funder landscape in Austin, either as a funder or fundraiser
• Strong written and oral communications skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences and stakeholders
• High level of emotional intelligence
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with multiple stakeholders.
• History of rallying support and partnership around a common cause.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the capacity to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

Salary and How to Apply

This role offers a salary range of $80,000–$110,000 and is based in Austin, TX. The position allows for a flexible schedule. Work with both the Coalition and the implementation partner is largely asynchronous, providing significant autonomy in managing your time.
