Back on the Saddle

I got the news today that I got a job, one that I really wanted. It is a casemanager position working for Cath.olic Comm.unity Ser.vices. They have a grant program that is supposed to help prevent people from becoming homeless and also to help those who are already homeless. I will be working very closely with them to find resources in the community and help with the rent expenses for short times. I have done this work before for a different agency on a different scale and I'm so excited to get back to a non-profit organization and doing a job where I will be able to help others become self-sufficient. If you want to check it out click CCS Utah.

I'm not Catholic and I'm not really sure how much the religion has an influence on the agency, I know that many churches and grants go into funding it..but I'm really excited. I will have my own office and it will be a full time M-F job.

All I have to do now is go in and fill out all the paperwork including for the background check that can take from 3 bus days to 2 weeks and as soon as that comes back I will get my start date. I am going to die of anticipation until it happens, I am so ready to get back to work.

That is great news! It sounds like a tough job though (on the emotions) but I hope it's the kind of job where you feel like you are making a difference.
