So case management um in my role I
support individuals that come into
Gateway. Um I support them with housing,
getting clothes, um getting their
personal documents if they don't already
have them. Um so that includes
everything from housing to medical
appointments, getting them established
with a a medical provider. Um so it can
fall within a bunch of different roles.

I didn't work in the nonprofit field
till 2014. Um, I've always worked for
the
forprofit and I just saw a shift and a
need um on what was happening in
Albuquerque and I decided to make a
transition into
um services
[Music]
I think for me it's really um building a
rapport with that individual um finding
out their background, what it is they
want to work on um and really seeing how
much they want to put in the work to um
get housed. I think the rewarding part
is seeing the end result when they get
housed and they're in stable housing.
I had a client who relocated here from
Texas. Um, worked all her life, uh, got
sick, has three children, and her
children didn't know that she was
homeless. Um, she was one of my clients
that I was able to get housed, ended up
getting a job making over $30 an hour.
Um, had a successful history in nursing.
So yeah, there's there's a lot of people
with good stories.
