Case Manager

Title: Case Manager

Reports to: Program Manager

Employment Status: PT – Must be available Weekends

Organization Overview:

Women’s Empowerment is a community-based organization whose mission is to educate and empower women, who are homeless, with the skills and the confidence necessary to secure a job, create a healthy lifestyle and regain a home for themselves and their children. Women’s Empowerment is the most comprehensive job-readiness program in Sacramento exclusively designed to serve homeless women and their children. We are dedicated to ending homelessness through empowerment and employment.

Women’s Empowerment offers a supportive environment where employees work as a team to provide the highest quality of services. We use a strength-based model in our work and focus on excellence in all of our programs.

Women’s Empowerment is launching a transitional housing program for families with 24 stand- alone cottages in a gated community. Women’s Empowerment graduates work hard to secure jobs and need housing they can afford with mid to entry-level salaries. This buoys their success and allows them to continue on that trajectory, building their credit, beginning a savings account, putting down roots in their job, and eventually securing a promotion that allows them to qualify for market-rate housing. This project provides the critical stepping stone they need to reclaim their lives and futures, empowering them to define themselves by who they are and what they contribute to their community rather than by their lack of housing.
