About the role

This pilot program is a Cash Plus model that combines unconditional direct cash transfers (DCTs) with optional supportive programming and services for 9 to 12 months to support young adults ages 18 to 24 to secure safe and stable housing.

Serving as the key connector of optional support services, they work in conjunction with multiple members of the CHNY programs team as well as community agencies and supports that are involved with the youth.
The Care Coordinator will enroll youth in the DCT program, provide care coordination services, support supplemental programming, and collaborate with established programming and/or outside partners.
The DCT Care Coordinators are the primary point of contact for youth in this program and act as a resource and support for youth as needed.
Submit and manage documentation for youth incentives and payments.
Assist in the design of promotional materials (monthly calendar, fliers, brochures, etc.) to inform and support participant engagement in the program.
Follow-up with CHNY wrap-around services by communicating with identified support staff.
Identify relevant housing resources for program participants and support young people in accessing those resources.
Aid youth with housing opportunities by connecting youth to necessary staff and support.
But our mission goes beyond immediate support.
Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe refuge and empower young people to build a brighter future founded on compassion, unconditional love, and absolute respect.

Attend in-service training as required
Training or experience with trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and crisis intervention highly desired.

The Cash Plus approach recognizes that young people often face both financial and non-financial constraints to long-term housing stability and thriving.

Our dedicated team offers various services, including shelter, housing, education, employment, health, mental health support, youth development, and anti-human trafficking initiatives.

We are passionate advocates for systemic change, influencing public policy, and raising awareness of the critical issues surrounding youth homelessness.
