Description:

This range is provided by PRC. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.

Our mission is to help people affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues better realize opportunities by providing integrated legal, social, and health services that address the broad range of social risk factors that impact wellness and limit potential.

ABOUT

PRC believes everyone deserves an advocate and an opportunity.

PRC (formerly Positive Resource Center) has been transforming the Bay Area for decades, helping those affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues realize their best selves by providing the support and services they need to reclaim their lives.

Services include emergency financial assistance for short-term security; legal representation for access to basic income and healthcare benefits; and residential treatment, supportive housing, and employment training for longer-term social rehabilitation.

Having merged with the AIDS Emergency Fund and Baker Places, Inc. in 2016, PRC's interconnected services help over 5,000 clients per year on their path toward long-term stability and success.

PRC remains committed to the same core ideals it was founded upon:

  • PRC will continue to be welcoming and accepting of ALL people;
  • PRC will stand up, speak out, and provide both urgent and long-term support for those who too often are marginalized or ignored;
  • PRC will never, ever stop working to empower their clients by helping the whole person – moving beyond merely addressing their health and tackling the larger social issues that affect them.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

PRC is highly respected as a provider of care for San Francisco's most vulnerable residents affected by HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and/or mental health issues.

The new leader will inherit a team with tremendous depth of experience and knowledge. They will need to operate easily at high policy levels, while also keeping focus of the human dimension of providing assistance to the vulnerable population PRC cares for – people who may have HIV/AIDS, substance use and/or mental health issues as well as being unhoused.

The CEO will lead an agency with a budget of over $28 million and 243 employees with programs spanning the City and County of San Francisco. They will play a pivotal role in diversifying the agency's funding, significantly expanding philanthropic support and other revenue streams.
