Case ManagerFlexible Housing Subsidy ProgramAgency OverviewRooted in equity, Felton Institute transforms quality of life and promotes social justice to accelerate community-led change. Founded in 1889, Felton Institute is the oldest nonsectarian, non-profit charitable social services provider in the City and County of San Francisco. Operating in five SF Bay Area counties today, our vision is to drive positive and sustainable community-led change where all have equitable access to innovative, high-quality, evidence-informed services.Program DescriptionThe Flexible Housing Subsidy Program offers an exciting opportunity to participate in a program to make a difference in the lives of people who have been living on the streets in San Francisco. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many unhoused people sheltered in place (SIP) in local hotels throughout the city. Now, as the pandemic has shifted to a new phase of crisis management, unhoused people in shelters and on the street are being offered a permanent housing subsidy – with a 30% contribution of monthly income – at apartment buildings and homes throughout the city. The Case Manager will be part of a multidisciplinary team with community specialists, case managers, and clinical case managers. This team collaborates with community partners in crafting successful strategies to support people as they transition to life in new homes across the city.
