Program Description
Junction Point provides safe and dignified 24/7 enhanced shelter and supportive services for at least 45 people age 50 and older experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to provide a hospitable and low barrier shelter with a harm reduction model. This is to be done in the spirit of the ministry of presence, which fosters attention to the individual and respect for each person’s unique situation. This shelter is for a population of older people who are vulnerable to the weather, street predators, and illness. These people may be high needs, have serious physical disabilities, chronic and acute mental illness, active chemical dependency and trauma. Junction Point Shelter emphasizes moving people into permanent housing through case management. Case Managers are responsible for providing direct service to the participants by identifying barriers to them reaching the goal of quickly into permanent housing, and working with the participant to overcome those barriers. Case Managers will foster a team environment among shelter staff and volunteers. CCS is committed to making our services, our agencies and our communities free of the divisive and dehumanizing ravages of racism. We strive for anti-racist programming and practices by supporting racial equity and justice in our daily work.
Position Description
The Case Manager provides engagement and support services to people who may use illicit substances, have significant mental or physical health issues, or are part of other stigmatized populations by using a positive, harm reduction approach. The emphasis is on meeting individuals “where they are at” and providing non-judgmental, non-coercive services and resources to individuals. The Case Manager will work directly with participants to ensure their personal choices don’t interfere with obtaining stabilized permanent housing, and to develop individualized goals for enrichment, stability, wellness and recovery as applicable. Case Managers will work closely with the Coordinated Entry program and will refer and advocate for participants to obtain appropriate resources and permanent supportive housing.
