A housing case manager provides services to adults and at-risk youth who are homeless or otherwise in need by assisting them throughout the process of applying for program assistance and finding a safe and affordable apartment or house. As a housing case manager, you provide emotional support to clients while helping them plan their finance and life goals through a structured program. Qualifications include previous work experience with low-income families, mental health services, or misguided youth. You must understand the resources and systems available through city, state, or national organizations and have a compassionate nature to help people progress from being homeless to becoming self-sufficient.
