Trevor Smith
@trevorsmith
I lead nonprofit program compliance, procurement, and housing services operations across shelter and housing retention programs.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Sunstone Way, I advanced from Case Manager to Procurement Manager in four years, supporting shelters and housing retention programs contracted by Multnomah County, Clackamas County, and the City of Portland. I oversee compliance-focused procurement, funder requirements, documentation standards, and approximately $1.5M in annual Client Assistance Fund spending.
I've supervised 13 Housing Navigation Specialists across five shelters, trained staff on CAF processes and documentation, and translated HMIS data-quality findings into practical improvements. I bring hands-on housing services experience, including maintaining zero evictions in my housing retention caseload, alongside independent business ownership, budgeting, and regulatory compliance experience.
