They hold the team accountable in ways that grow the people and our impact, and they make sure people feel appreciated.
- Person-centered: The PSH Case Manager Supervisor meets participants where they are and fosters a relationship in which they are “walking with” the participant rather than “doing for” them. They are empathetic, even and especially when clients are difficult customers.

They look for the root of both simple and complex problems, so they can seek solutions. They approach work with a spirit of “yes” and adapt as things change, which they often do.
- Attention to detail: The PSH Case Manager Supervisor aims to leave things better than they found them.
