Cherrise Francis, BA
Case Manager Supervisor
La Quinta Men’s Shelter

Cherrise Francis is a dedicated social services professional with over 31 years of experience helping individuals and families achieve stability and empowerment within their communities. A proud Brooklyn native, I began my journey in social services in 1992 as a case manager with the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) and ending my tenure as an assistant office manager (AJOS II). Throughout my 23 years of service with HRA, I honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those in need.

Transitioning into the shelter system in 2019, I served as an employment specialist, housing specialist, and case manager with Samaritan Village. I am currently a Case Manager Supervisor at AAPCI where I lead and inspire a team of professionals committed to fostering positive change in the lives of our clients.

My passion for community service goes beyond my professional roles. I have also been a devoted foster mother and adoption parent and I actively participate in numerous social events aimed at combating hunger, homelessness, and abuse. My commitment to uplifting the less fortunate drives my goal of assisting as many individuals as possible in securing suitable housing and achieving lasting stability.

With my wealth of experience, unwavering compassion, and dedication to service, I try to continue to make a profound impact on the lives of those I serve in Brooklyn and beyond.
