    The Triage Specialist engages new shelter referrals in a triage assessment process which is designed to determine a guest-s immediate level of need and assertively moves the guest to safe housing.

    The Triage Specialist will work with community providers of health and behavioral health services to coordinate care plans which do not rely on emergency shelter when other more appropriate medical and behavioral health services should be explored and utilized.

    The Triage Specialist will work to coordinate appropriate discharge plans for guests who are reentering the community from incarceration with a clear focus on upstream services which avoid unnecessary reliance on emergency shelter.

    The Triage Specialist will work within a best practice framework of Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Informed Care and, whenever possible, will provide support toward family reunification and mitigating barriers to securing alternative options for safe housing.

    If diversion is not possible or appropriate, the Triage Specialist will initiate a full guest intake, frame the guest understands of a limited stay in emergency shelter, and establishes the foundation for the guest-s work towards a more permanent housing solution - this will include triage housing placement within the first 30 days of Shelter.

    The Triage Specialist will provide exceptional customer service both internally and externally and will work in partnership with case management teams to provide integrated service delivery which furthers our mission to eliminate homelessness.

    The Triage Specialist will work under tight timeframes for accurately entering guest information into Pine Street Inn-s approved Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

    Schedule will change after training period, and may include weekends or evenings as part of the regular schedule.
    Shelter is a temporary safety net, not a home. The Housing Placement Team must assertively motivate guests and incentivize them to seek better alternatives using best practices.

    All people experiencing homelessness, regardless of their housing history and duration of homelessness, can achieve housing stability in permanent housing.

    Never warehouse or institutionalize our guests in our shelters.

    Everyone is -housing ready.- Sobriety, compliance in treatment, or even a clean criminal history is not necessary to succeed in housing.

    Rather, homelessness programs and housing providers must be -consumer ready-.
    Leverage guests- strengths, assets, and connections to move quickly out of shelters and to any other housing.
    EDUCATION/


    TRAINING:
    Associates in a human services related field Or High School Diploma with a minimum of two (2) years of equivalent experience in a social service setting
    Strong computer and math skills, including familiarity with MS Word, Excel and ability to learn and successfully use MIS & HMIS programs
    Certification, training, or formal education in counseling and/or case management
    Bi-lingual - Spanish/English

    Working Knowledge of Housing First and Rapid Rehousing
    Knowledge of the issues related to homelessness
    Practical experience in client assessment, diversion, mediation, negotiation, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma- informed Care, Crisis Prevention and Intervention, household budgeting, and service planning, recovery services - including mental health, substance use/abuse and traumatic brain injury
    Ability to sit for moderate periods of time at a desk in an office while interacting with clients and/or managing documentation and completing data entry
    Excellent writing, documentation, math and computer skills
    Ability to establish good working relationships with internal and external program staff
    Ability to help provide critical incident de-briefing

    Divert individuals at the front door to housing situations which are better than emergency shelter to include family reunification and mediation.

    Identify guests who would benefit from Rapid Re-Housing and other housing pathway referrals

    Meet or exceed established program goals for diversions, triage assessments, triage placements and upstream follow up with hospitals and other community providers as needed.

    As needed, develop and provide newly homeless and chronically homeless guests with detailed orientation to shelter services and housing placement opportunities as well as program timelines and limitations.

    Maintain thorough knowledge of human/social services opportunities available in the community, establish and maintain necessary contacts to reduce inappropriate referrals and discharges.

    Successfully connect guests with mainstream benefits, community-based supports and resources.
    Adhere to and model PSI policies, including illness prevention
    Perform other additional assignments or projects as requested/directed by supervisor.
