We believe every person deserves a place to blossom, and we're building the tools, systems, and teams to make that possible.

Our Culture

At Anthos|Home, urgency drives our work because every day in shelter matters. We are focused on helping people move into stable housing as quickly as possible and continuously improving how we get there.

We are looking for team members who are highly data-oriented, tech-savvy, and comfortable learning new systems, including AI-enabled tools. We are excited to bring on people who see how AI can make our work more impactful and who go beyond the tools we provide to find new ways to use it. Strong candidates value accuracy, use data to inform decisions, and actively improve how information is tracked and shared.

We value people who are thoughtful, adaptable, and detail-oriented, and who follow through, communicate openly, and take ownership of their work. Using AI-enabled tools is an expected part of every role, and how effectively we use data and technology directly impacts how quickly people get home. We are committed to using AI responsibly and to putting Participant privacy first, and all work with AI-enabled tools must be done within that commitment.
