The Embrace Initiative at the University of Maryland, Baltimore
has an exciting opportunity for a Case Manager (Community Program
Specialist) who will serve at our Eutaw Street Site. The Foster
Youth Case Manager will provide dedicated housing navigation and
follow-along case management to transition-age youth who have
exited foster care and are experiencing or at risk of housing
instability. The Case Manager will serve at least 25 youth annually
while maintaining an active caseload, providing individualized
support with housing search and placement, resource navigation,
service coordination, and ongoing stabilization support to promote
successful transitions to and retention of permanent housing. The
Case Manager will maintain timely and accurate case documentation,
including required client, service, and outcome data in HMIS, and
comply with applicable documentation and data-quality requirements.
Services may be provided in office, community, and other locations
based on participant needs; therefore, the Case Manager will
conduct visits with youth as needed and will be responsible for
independently arranging transportation to and from community-based
meetings and service locations. The position may also support
program operations, reporting, and coordination with partner
agencies. This full-time, contractual position requires the
ability to work evenings and weekends as necessary.
