Job Description:

The Case Manager is a highly responsible professional position providing outreach, assessment, care management, advocacy, and referrals/linkages to needed services and resources at the Our Promise Drop-in Center, on the Navigating Hope Mobile Outreach Van, and within the community.

 

The position will provide care management across the Navigating Hope and Coordinated Entry Programs.

 

• Navigating Hope is a partnership between Family Promise and Morris County Human Services that utilizes an outreach van to provide care management and a variety of services, including Single Stop screenings, for low-income and homeless individuals in the van. The van targets hard-to-reach communities and populations and is intended to fill traditional gaps in community service provision. Navigating Hope outreach is also a tremendous asset during Code Blue emergencies (extreme weather events and extreme cold conditions), focuses on prevention and diversion from a homelessness crisis, and accesses some of Morris County’s most vulnerable community members with direct support.
• Coordinated entry is the process that helps ensure that all people experiencing a housing crisis in Morris County have fair and equal access, and are quickly identified, assessed for, referred, and connected to housing and homeless assistance based on their needs and strengths, no matter where or when they present for services. It uses standardized tools and practices, incorporates a system-wide Housing First approach, participant choice, and coordinates housing and homeless assistance such that housing and homeless assistance is prioritized for those with the most severe service needs.

The position is full time and will report to the Director of Outreach & Crisis Intervention. The position will work as part of a dynamic, innovative, cross systems team that embraces a creative environment.
