Case Manager - Fordham Village

About Jericho Project

Jericho Project is a nationally recognized nonprofit that has been working to end homelessness at its roots since 1983. What began as a Manhattan soup kitchen has grown into a citywide organization serving nearly 3,000 New Yorkers each year—including over 700 veterans, as well as young adults and families, many of whom identify as LGBTQ+.

Jericho provides more than 600 units of supportive housing through seven permanent residences in the Bronx and Harlem, along with scattered-site apartments throughout New York City. Our housing-first model is paired with wraparound services delivered by skilled case managers, licensed mental health clinicians, and workforce development specialists. Together, these services support our four pillars of stability: housing, employment, wellness, and family.

In 2024, Jericho facilitated over 570 housing placements, helped secure nearly 275 job placements, and delivered over 750 therapy sessions through our in-house Jericho Therapy Program. As we move toward expanding our reach by an additional 2,000 units of housing, we remain committed to helping individuals and families build lasting independence and well-being—one person, one home, and one community at a time.

The Jericho Project Case Manager will be responsible for providing residential and long term support services to homeless and at-risk adults transitioning into permanent housing. The Case Manager will carry a caseload of approximately 20 to 25 formerly homeless and/or low income individuals. Case Manager will be required to have frequent contact with tenants, weekly and/or monthly face-to-face meetings, telephone conversations, and aftercare contacts.

Frequent electronic exchanges with colleagues is expected.
