Position Description

Sojourner House is a comprehensive domestic violence and sexual assault agency in Rhode Island that provides residential, educational, and community-based interventions to families and individuals impacted by abuse. The agency’s goal is to help clients to find safety, overcome trauma, and work toward the wellbeing for themselves and their children. The Research and Policy Director will serve as a critical bridge between the affordable housing direct services that the agency provides and the research and policy issues in the field. Their work will directly impact Sojourner House programs and work in Rhode Island, but the intent is to also share the results more broadly within the field through the development of a digital Resource Hub.
