DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
The Housing and Community Development Specialist II is located in the Community Development Agency's Housing and Community Development Department. The Housing and Community Development Specialist II performs the professional functions of housing and community development programs and projects, including social service, homeless, community development and housing programs.

Upon completion of one year as a Housing and Community Development Specialist II, incumbent will be evaluated for potentially flexing-up to Housing and Community Development Specialist III based on the incumbent's knowledge and use of department and program policies and procedures, as well as department need. The Housing and Community Development Specialist II is distinguished from the Housing and Community Development Specialist I in that the latter assists in program activities, under close supervision. The Housing and Community Development Specialist II is further distinguished from the Housing and Community Development Specialist III in that the latter performs the full range of professional duties under direction, once department and program policies and procedures are learned.
