Specialist) who will serve at our Restoration Gardens 1 Site.
The Restoration Gardens 1 Case Manager will provide comprehensive,
housing-focused case management to transition-age youth who have

employment, benefits, independent living, and overall well-being,
while coordinating referrals and services with community-based
partners as appropriate. The Case Manager will maintain timely and
accurate case documentation, including required client, service,
