Job Description

Job Overview:

Beginning in January 2024, the IRC will provide transitional case management services to asylum seekers in New York City under a contract with New York City’s Health & Hospitals (H+H). In 2022, in response to an increase in asylum seekers arriving in New York after having recently arrived via the southern US border, H+H launched several Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers (HERRCs) to provide humanitarian reception and supportive services to asylum seekers while they stabilize and organize plans to reach their final destination.

The IRC believes that coordinated, client-centered humanitarian reception can serve as a gateway to a safe and dignified asylum system in the US. With this new program, IRC staff will work with families in HERRC facilities to identify strategies to remove barriers to stability, facilitate safe connections to US ties and communities, and provide basic information on the immigration process to ensure they understand their rights and have access to available legal services in the community, provide referrals to legal and social services in final destinations, and provide more intensive case management for families and individuals with heightened needs. We will leverage our strong infrastructure and technical and emergency expertise to ramp up transitional case management capacity while coordinating closely with agencies providing legal and social services to asylum seekers in New York City (the City).

The IRC will also implement an innovative model to support asylum seekers interested in relocating by leveraging its proven and award-winning (https://www.fastcompany.com/90848982/most-innovative-companies-rapid-response-2023) virtual case management model and infrastructure. Through this model, trained case managers will provide virtual navigation of resources and information for asylum seekers interested and willing to relocate outside of the City. These virtual services will include cash assistance, guidance on navigating the new community of resettlement, and ongoing virtual case management, including referrals to legal service providers and community-based organizations for up to five months post-resettlement. This virtual case management model endeavors to empower asylum-seekers who wish to resettle outside of the City but lack the resources, information, and support network needed to make the move.

Scope

The Senior Program Manager brings an understanding of the lived experiences of asylum seekers, including their migratory journey, the barriers they face accessing protection and services, and the duality of migrant agency and structural vulnerability to a critical role that will provide individualized case management services to asylum seekers with a focus on supporting exit from the HERRCs with stability and dignity.

The position will launch and oversee case management services that support asylum seekers facing individualized challenges in achieving their goals, achieving stability, and longer-term resettlement while providing information and resources related to the asylum/ immigration court process. They will coordinate service delivery closely with onsite vendors and local partners and train and manage a multi-site, multi-shift team whose work will inform the development of a humanitarian reception system for asylum seekers in New York City that is data-driven, protection-centered, and responsive to client needs and interests.
