Housing Placement Case Manager, Family Center - Westland, MI
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: location, status, wage (Competitive Compensation Based on Experience), schedule (As needed, Monday - Friday). Also description paragraphs: "Help Families Find More Than Housing..." etc. There's a "Why Samaritas?" section. There's "What You'll Do" with bullet list. There's "What Makes You Successful" and "We're Looking For Someone Who Has:" bullet list. There's "Education & Qualifications" with required and preferred. There's "Additional Requirements". There's "The Impact You'll Make". There's "Ready to make a difference?" etc. We need to map to allowed headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. There's none.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (the "What You'll Do" list). Requirements (maybe "Education & Qualifications" plus "Additional Requirements"? Could be separate but we can combine into Requirements). Qualifications maybe similar. But we should avoid duplicate thin sections. Perhaps we can have: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Education & Qualifications + Additional Requirements), Skills (What Makes You Successful + We're Looking For...), Benefits (maybe none? Not given specific benefits; only "Competitive Compensation Based on Experience" is wage, not benefits. No explicit benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It doesn't list benefits like health insurance etc. So omit Benefits. Pay: we have "Wage: Competitive Compensation Based on Experience". That's specific enough? It says competitive compensation based on experience. That is a statement about pay. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: we have "Schedule: As needed, Monday - Friday". That's specific. So include Schedule section.
We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience" etc. "Competitive Compensation Based on Experience" is okay.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.

We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract all substantive content. Intro paragraphs: "Help Families Find More Than Housing. Help Them Find Hope. At Samaritas, we believe every family deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to build a brighter future. As a Housing Placement Case Manager at our Family Center, you'll play a critical role in helping families overcome barriers, secure stable housing, and achieve long-term independence.

When you join Samaritas, you become part of a mission larger than yourself. Be the rock someone can lean on. #BeTheRock" We can combine into a few paragraphs. Now Responsibilities list (What You'll Do, In This Role, You Will:). List items: - Build trusting relationships with families through strength-based and trauma-informed case management. - Conduct intake assessments, establish goals, develop housing plans, and monitor progress toward successful housing placement. - Help families identify and overcome barriers that impact housing stability and self-sufficiency. - Connect residents with critical community resources, social services, and support programs. - Educate residents on available services and assist with applications and required documentation. - Maintain accurate case notes, reports, and resident records in accordance with program requirements. - Ensure timely and accurate data entry within the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). - Meet regularly with residents to evaluate progress, provide encouragement, and adjust housing plans as needed. - Facilitate financial literacy education and budgeting strategies that support long-term housing success. - Advocate on behalf of residents with landlords, community agencies, service providers, and housing partners. - Collaborate with KidZone early education staff and other service providers to support the entire family's well-being. - Participate in case consultations and interdisciplinary meetings to identify solutions and share resources. - Conduct monthly aftercare visits and follow-up support to help families maintain housing stability and prevent future homelessness. - Represent Samaritas at community events, outreach activities, resource fairs, and networking opportunities. Now Requirements: Education & Qualifications: Required Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Psychology, Human Services, or a related field. Preferred One or more years of experience in human services, community services, or case management. Experience working with families, adults, or individuals experiencing crisis, homelessness, or housing instability. Additional Requirements: Valid driver's license with a good driving record. Reliable personal transportation. Proof of current automobile insurance. Ability to travel locally to resident homes and community partner locations as needed. Now Skills: What Makes You Successful paragraph: "You are compassionate, resourceful, and driven by a desire to help families create lasting change. You thrive in a role that combines advocacy, problem-solving, relationship building, and community engagement." We're Looking For Someone Who Has: - Strong communication and interpersonal skills. - Excellent organizational and documentation abilities. - The ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities. - A collaborative approach to helping individuals achieve meaningful goals. - Knowledge of community resources and housing-related services. - Compassion, patience, and cultural sensitivity when supporting families experiencing crisis. - Experience using Microsoft Office and database systems, including HMIS or similar software. Now Impact paragraph: "The Impact You'll Make Every housing placement represents more than a new address. It represents stability, security, opportunity, and a fresh start for a family in need. At Samaritas, you'll help families navigate one of the most challenging chapters of their lives and celebrate with them as they move toward a stronger future." Ready to make a difference? etc. That's basically call to action; we can include as part of About the role maybe? But we should preserve substantive information. Could add a final paragraph after sections: "Ready to make a difference? Apply today and help families move from crisis to stability, one home at a time. Samaritas. Be the Rock. #BeTheRock #socialwork #humanservices #advocacy #westlandmijobs". However instructions: remove application instructions. The line "Apply today and help families move from crisis to stability, one home at a time." is an application instruction? It's a call to apply. Might be considered application instruction. The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove that line. Also the hashtags at end maybe considered boilerplate? Might be okay to keep as part of description? They are not boilerplate but could be considered metadata. Safer to remove the final call-to-action line and hashtags? The instruction says remove application instructions. So remove "Ready to make a difference?Apply today and help families move from crisis to stability, one home at a time." Also remove the hashtags line? It's part of that line. We'll remove that entire sentence. Thus we keep the Impact paragraph but not the call to action. Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections have content. Now produce HTML. We'll need to wrap each section in appropriate tags. Let's craft:About the role
