The Community Triage Manager (CTM) leads universal intake for Mission Services. The CTM provides one front door for people seeking help, screening and prioritizing each person by need, then routing them to the right program with a clean handoff. The role sets and holds the intake standard across programs, supervises the intake team, and owns front-door data quality in Case Worthy.

This is an intake and routing role. It is not a clinical role and not a long-term case management role. When a person needs clinical care or ongoing case management, the CTM routes them to it.
