The
Peer Case Management Institute Answer
to
Expanding the Case Manager Workforce
The DC Department of Human Services (DHSS), in collaboration with the Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness (TCP), Pathways to Housing DC, and Howard University’s School of Social Work, launches the first-of-its-kind Peer Case Management Institute. The Peer Case Management Institute is a response to the growing need for skilled case managers in Washington, D.C., particularly as the city faces a shortage of social workers amid rising homelessness. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the fight against homelessness, providing individuals with lived experience of homelessness the training and support needed to become successful case managers within the homeless services system.
