Company Overview :
Working to provide shelter, housing, stabilization, and support for children, families, and individuals experiencing homelessness across CT since 1990, New Reach inspires independence for those affected by homelessness and poverty.
As a long-time leader in Connecticut, New Reach hopes to chart a new path by fundamentally shifting how our community manages and responds to the homelessness and housing insecurity crises.
We believe a true systems change is possible with an increased focus on preventing evictions and providing long-term stability for those establishing independence.
We imagine a world where the need for shelter is minimal because individuals and families can stay in their homes instead of being evicted, and those struggling to make ends meet can get the help they need to maintain stability.
We inspire lasting independence for all people affected by homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing and support, using the most innovative, progressive, equitable, and inclusive methods.
Primary Purpose :
In partnership with the Fairfield County Coordinated Access Network (CAN) and other community stakeholders, New Reach provides supportive housing services to individuals and families who, without support in these critical times of transition and need, are at imminent risk of homelessness or are actively experiencing homelessness in the greater Bridgeport community.
The services are provided primarily to low-income individuals and families experiencing homelessness and housing instability in the greater Bridgeport area who are affected by significant and persistent mental health, substance use, or HIV / AIDS.
The housing caseworker acts as the first point of contact to provide support and advocacy, housing counseling, and community linkages with the ultimate goal of housing stabilization.
Other populations or housing support services may be assigned as secondary purposes when needed.
Essential Functions :
Refer and support engagement in appropriate services to meet the household's needs.
