Job Overview
As a Residential Independent Living Coordinator, I provide case management, outreach, and individualized support to youth ages 18-21 residing in supportive housing in Glassboro, New Jersey. I ensure their safety and stability while addressing co-occurring challenges such as mental health needs, substance use, and economic barriers, connecting them to appropriate services and resources.

Program Info
The purpose of the program is to provide Independent Living by assisting homeless youth and youth leaving the child welfare system, foster care or homeless shelters to make a successful transition to self-sufficient living and to prevent long-term dependency on social services by providing permanent housing, life skills, and support services which meet their developmental needs. Recognizing that the target population needs help in all spheres of their lives, the program comprehensively addresses barriers confronting this population in the key life domains of housing, education, viable employment, and medical and emotional well-being.
