Case Manager Volunteer

The job of the case manager in long-term recovery after disaster is to identify homeowners and renters and their needs and connect them to resources, working with the long-term recovery coalition to do whatever is necessary to get them back on their feet. The case manager works over the long-term with survivors to make an in-depth assessment of their needs in order to determine which are disaster-related and then to help the homeowners and renters develop a recovery plan.

The case manager's relationship with homeowners and renters is as an advocate, and the development of the relationship is as important as the client's need.
