About Just Compassion

Just Compassion of East Washington County is a community-centered nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of unhoused individuals by building relationships and working toward long-term housing stability. We operate with a low-barrier, housing-first approach, ensuring equitable access to services for all individuals.

Position Summary

The Case Manager / Family Advocate provides individualized, trauma-informed support to families residing in Just Compassion’s 50-unit family shelter in Gresham, OR. This position plays a critical role in helping families stabilize, access services, and transition from shelter into safe and permanent housing.

The Case Manager works collaboratively with families to develop personalized service plans focused on housing, employment, education, and overall well-being. The role also involves advocacy, coordination with community partners, and guidance through complex systems such as Coordinated Entry, TANF, SNAP, OHP, other social safety nets and childcare assistance.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Support families in connecting to culturally specific services and community-based supports.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of local resources, including rental assistance programs, education supports, and family stabilization services.
  • Coordinate with internal team members (Childcare Development Specialist, Youth Services Coordinator, and Behavioral Health Specialist) to ensure holistic support for each family.
  • Advocacy and Family Empowerment

  • Advocate for families’ needs within external systems, including schools, landlords, and government programs.
  • Empower families to build self-advocacy skills and navigate systems independently over time.
  • Provide trauma-informed guidance and empathetic listening to help families rebuild trust and stability.
  • Support families experiencing crises with calm, solutions-oriented interventions and safety planning when needed.
  • Collaboration and Team Integration

  • Participate in weekly case review meetings and multidisciplinary staff meetings to coordinate participant support.
  • Maintain consistent communication with shelter operations staff to align on participant progress and challenges.
  • Work collaboratively with external partners including DHS, county housing programs, and culturally specific organizations.
  • Represent Just Compassion with professionalism and a commitment to collaborative, housing-focused service delivery.
  • Documentation, Compliance, and Reporting

  • Maintain accurate and timely case notes, service plans, and outcome data in HMIS or internal databases.
  • Track progress toward housing stability, employment, and family wellness goals.
  • Ensure compliance with all confidentiality, data, and reporting requirements under HIPAA and other relevant regulations.
  • Contribute to program reports and outcome tracking for internal evaluation and funder reporting.

  • 2+ years of experience providing case management, housing navigation, or family advocacy services.
  • Knowledge of trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and strengths-based approaches.

  • Work Environment

  • Based at the Gresham family shelter with frequent interaction with families, children, and community partners.
  • Work involves exposure to sensitive and complex family situations requiring confidentiality and professional boundaries.
  • Stay informed on Just Compassion and County policies, procedures, and program standards.

  • Opportunities for professional development, including training in trauma-informed care and housing-first strategies.
