Housing First for Youth Case Manager

4 weeks ago

Oshawa, Canada The Refuge Youth Outreach Centre Full time

**INTRODUCTION**

*
The Refuge is a Christian not-for-profit community called to show Jesus Christ’s love and kindness to the youth of our community through practical and compassionate means of intervention and prevention. While we offer programs that meet basic needs (food and clothing), our real purpose is to create a community where youth experiencing homelessness can come to be loved, nurtured, encouraged, be safe and find a place to belong... a community in which youth can encounter Christ and find healing.

The Housing First for Youth (HF4Y) Program of The Refuge uses a HF4Y approach to work with youth who qualify for the program. Housing First is an evidence based housing philosophy documented in the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s “At Home/Chez Soi” project. It uses the key components of immediate access to permanent housing with no housing readiness requirements, client choice and self-determination, recovery oriented, individualized and client driven supports, and social and community integration. The Refuge’s HF4Y Program seeks to model these five components.

The Refuge is currently seeking to fill the position of Housing First for Youth Case Manager. The HF4Y Case Manager will work with an existing caseload and seek to add new youth where possible. The HF4Y Case Manager will work directly with youth using the HF4Y approach to house youth and keep them housed.*
