Adoption Caseworker

Volunteers of America-Greater New York (VOA-Greater New York) is a leading anti-poverty organization serving neighbors in need across New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Westchester. Through 70+ programs, we support over 35,000 adults and children each year, including individuals experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, youth aging out of foster care, veterans, seniors, and children with developmental delays. The Social Worker will enhance existing services to include a thorough assessment of families’ long-term goals at intake and development of a service plan to incorporate small achievable tasks leading to permanent housing with enrollment and/or referrals to the community resources.

Volunteers of America-Greater New York\'s Creston Avenue Residence is a residence that provides housing to chronically homeless single adults, chronically homeless families, and those at serious risk of becoming homeless, as well as veterans with HUD-VASH vouchers, and families that meet income eligibility requirements and do not require supportive services.
