Case Manager
Chicago Lights Social Service Center

The Case Manager (CM) for housing will oversee all the housing-related needs of SSC participants as well as the Housing Opportunities Program (HOP). The CM will partner with the Program Director to provide one-to-one case management with motivated participants who are looking for housing. Eligible participants are required to have an income (employment, benefits, etc.). The CM will build client rapport, partner with other housing providers, complete intake assessments and devise service plans to support the clients housing goals. The CM will also grow the SSC’s housing resources and cultivate new relationships with landlords offering affordable housing in the Chicago area.

Additionally, the CM will oversee the HOP for SSC participants. This housing voucher program is geared to target participants who have specific barriers to housing, who have a form of income and are willing to work with an SSC case manager. The CM will partner with the client to overcome their identified housing barrier(s) through use of a service plan and connections to needed services. The CM will assist participants as they transition into housing through completing home visits, weekly appointments, and frequent follow-up regarding progress and barriers identified in the service plan. This housing voucher program remains in the foundational stages, so the ideal candidate for this position will be energized by new initiatives and eager to take on challenges associated with piloting new programs.

Furthermore, the CM will work on a team to also support the food/clothing distribution services, short-term case management services, and other duties as assigned. The CM will have significant expertise in providing care to low-income populations, will have extensive knowledge of Chicago-area resources and systems, and will be able to work extremely well within a diverse, multi-disciplinary team.
