Housing Case Managers are at the very center of our homelessness response systems. They play a critical role working directly in the community in meeting the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
Change Well Project is excited to offer a comprehensive blended learning opportunity designed to provide Housing-Focused Case Managers and other direct service staff with in-depth training tailored specifically to the core competencies and skills needed for their work.
This blended learning experience includes a series of self-paced courses combined with live “Putting Knowledge into Practice” sessions with instructors that will deepen understanding of the core responsibilities and essential skills of housing case managers. You will be introduced to effective practices in this area of work and learn about homeless response systems, structures, and strategies.
NOTE: This curriculum is available to housing case managers working in the following CDSS-funded programs: HDAP, BFH, CalWORKs HSP, and Home Safe programs. Whether you are new to housing case management or experienced in housing and homeless services, this training will help you gain new skills and insight into your work.

The Learning Journey
The six modules of this course will each address an area essential to your work as a housing case manager.
The training program's time commitment is as follows: each self-paced course takes approximately 6 hours to complete, so expect to spend 2 hours per week on core learning. Additionally, we will host a 2-hour-to-2.5-hour "Putting Knowledge into Practice"
application workshop every three weeks.
