Care Teams

Care Team members, also known as "Red Coats," serve seniors and people with disabilities who live in apartments managed by Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA). Care Team members escort residents to the market, doctor's offices and the bank, run errands and assist with light chores. When one woman was asked how she felt about two of the members of her building's Care Team, she replied, "They are just like my sons!" Care Team members are paid employees of Community Re-Entry.

Full time employees receive a full benefits package that includes vacation, health insurance and pension that is fully vested after one year. The recidivism rate for Care Team members is less than 5%. Care Teams are funded by the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority.
