Case Coordinator

FreeRent.org is a nonprofit that helps families achieve long-term financial stability by providing rental assistance and support services. We want to see communities where hardworking people have the chance to succeed and build wealth for future generations. We help families facing unexpected challenges by meeting immediate needs, strengthening financial security, and supporting future goals.

About This Role

The FreeRent Atlanta Case Coordinator helps us offer more direct, one-on-one support to families in our programs. This client-facing role is for someone who knows the Atlanta housing and resource scene well and brings empathy and problem-solving skills to every family they help.

The Case Coordinator works closely with the Senior Case Manager to ensure families receive timely, well-coordinated, high-quality support as they move from crisis to stability. This role will also help make FreeRent.Org’s family programs more successful overall through family events, engagements, and creating a strong ecosystem of support.

• Keep up with local Atlanta resources and agencies, such as housing, financial, legal, health, and social services, as well as national resources, so families always have the latest options.
• Create and update a resource guide listing the latest local and national resources, making it easy for families to connect quickly to the right support.
• Actively look for and check out new resources and agencies to give clients and alumni more options.

Program Events & Programmatic Success

• Help plan and run program events, workshops, and family sessions with the Senior Program Manager and Senior Case Manager.
• Ensure clients in referral and partner programs connect with financial education and programs that fit their needs.
• Find gaps or slowdowns in the referral and case management process and suggest ways to improve program results.
