Mississauga, Canada REST Centres Full time

_**Reports to**:_ Program Supervisor _**Full Time 37.5 hrs/ week**_

**Purpose**:
REST Centers is a B3 (Black-led, Black-focused, Black-serving) charity dedicated to eradicating youth homelessness in the Peel Region. Our mission is to provide transitional housing and support services to youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness, particularly those transitioning from the foster care system. We implement a housing-first, community-driven approach to keep youth off the streets and facilitate their transition to independent living. Unlike temporary solutions, we offer a continuum of care, surrounding youth with holistic support to help them rewrite their narratives and explore new life possibilities, including access to shelter, essential resources, and support for physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as the cultivation of life skills and self-belief.

We recognize that youth homelessness stems from various root causes, including the lack of affordable housing, which often leads to hidden homelessness, such as couch surfing. We advocate for increased societal understanding to mobilize community resources and address the complexities of youth homelessness effectively.

We are currently seeking a dynamic Case Manager to join our team and support the REST Bridge of Hope Program.
