About Covenant House Illinois

Founded in 2017, Covenant House Illinois (CHIL) provides critical protection and support to youth ages 18–24 experiencing homelessness across Chicagoland and throughout Illinois. Since opening our doors, we have served nearly 2,000 young people, offering tailored, wraparound services including:

Interim and transitional housing
Workforce and education programming
Clinical case management
Life skills development
Supportive housing navigation

Our programs are youth-affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in harm reduction. With a newly renovated campus on Chicago’s West Side and an ambitious strategic plan focused on program expansion and service innovation, CHIL is uniquely positioned to help young people achieve long-term stability and independence.

Position Summary

The Street Outreach & Aftercare Case Manager connects directly with youth experiencing homelessness across Chicago to build trust, identify barriers to housing, and help them develop individualized plans for long-term stability. This role provides street-based outreach, housing navigation, and aftercare case management for youth transitioning into stable housing. The position requires frequent travel throughout the city to meet youth where they are — including streets, shelters, hospitals, and community spaces. You will collaborate with community partners, service providers, and CHIL teams to ensure youth receive holistic, coordinated support that promotes housing stability and independence.

Connect youth with supportive services including physical health care, mental health services, and workforce development programs.

Documentation & Data Management

Maintain organized case files for each youth.
Enter accurate data into systems such as HMIS and ETO.
Participate in case conferences and community collaboration meetings.
Conduct follow-ups and wellness checks with outreach and aftercare participants.

Trauma-Informed Support

Deliver services using trauma-informed, youth-centered approaches.
Utilize harm reduction, motivational interviewing, and Housing First models.
Provide crisis intervention and de-escalation support when needed.
Create a safe, non-judgmental environment that encourages youth engagement.

Engage in regular supervision and performance check-ins.
Participate in holiday and weekend rotations to support 24/7 service availability.
