Juvenile Justice Navigator

Description :

At Cocoon House we work with youth, young adults, and families in Snohomish County to break the cycle of homelessness through outreach, housing, prevention, and education. The Youth Engagement Team works one-on-one with young people experiencing homelessness, and the Navigators will provide support and guidance in finding housing and addressing the issues that contribute to homelessness, including financial, medical, legal, and educational needs, with the final goal of establishing a permanent housing solution for that individual.

The Juvenile Justice Navigator will work with youth and young adults experiencing homelessness, with a focus on youth under the age of 18, to navigate systems, coordinate service delivery, and otherwise support the young person throughout their journey to permanent housing stability. The Juvenile Justice Navigator will also work closely with and act as point of contact for Snohomish Countys Juvenile Justice system, building the majority of their caseload with referrals from Denney Juvenile Justice Center. The Youth Navigator will conduct outreach in various locations and with relevant community partners to build a caseload of about 20-30 young people currently experiencing homelessness or at high risk to experience homelessness.
