As a bridge between service providers and participant communities, Resource Navigators link community members to the local landscape of service providers to improve their access to housing and other resources. However, their role is not solely referring. Rather, this position is also tasked with the responsibility to listen, advocate, and act on behalf of the communities that they support. In this way, Navigators are active in the systems individuals are navigating, changing the service provider landscape as much as they are using it to support participants.
