Project H.O.M.E. – A Great Place to Work and Make a Difference!

We are a rapidly growing, independent nonprofit agency in Philadelphia with a mission to empower persons to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, to address structural causes of poverty, and to enable all of us to attain our fullest potential as individuals and as members of the broader society. In so doing, we run homeless outreach and residential programs and offer other supportive services for chronically homeless adults and families. We offer outstanding benefits: competitive compensation, health insurance, paid time off, and a retirement savings plan, just to name a few.

CTI Case Manager and Alumni Coordinator
This position will provide Critical Time Intervention (CTI) case management and support to individuals who move from a Project H.O.M.E. program into independent living with limited to no support services; and will coordinate the Alumni Program and related activities to build and facilitate on-going connection, community, peer support and time limited or targeted case management as needed.

CTI Case Manager for Integrated Supportive Housing sites

This position will provide Critical Time Intervention (CTI) case management services and supports to residents who move into one of Project H.O.M.E.’s integrated supportive housing sites. As new housing sites open, this position will support residents in their initial 9-12 months of tenancy.

The primary responsibilities of the Critical Time Intervention (CTI) Case Managers are to assist individuals in their recovery through case management services and support as defined by the best practice, critical time intervention. This best practice provides assessment, case management and support services that facilitate the transition into supportive housing. Services are expected to be needed more intensely in the initial months of tenancy, and then gradual decrease over 6-9 months as residents settle into their new home, become familiar with the neighborhood and make connections with needed professional (behavioral health and primary care providers, etc) and establish peer and other support networks.

These services will be provided to individuals with histories of chronic homelessness who move out of a Project H.O.M.E. housing program and into independent housing with minimal supports available. The CTI Case Manager will provide support to individuals in the community, connecting former residents to critical services and assisting them in establishing strong community connections.
