Jodi Miller Named Center Manager for Night Off the Streets, Inc. in Carson City
Jodi Miller has been named Center Manager for Night Off the Streets, Inc. (NOTS). She will oversee the warming center operations and serve as a referral advocate to connect clients to services that help them find housing.
“I am beyond grateful to be part of NOTS. I believe in what NOTS does for our community and will bring my experience and knowledge of resources to do the best job to help those in need,” Miller stated.
Miller has professional experience working for Carson City’s Community Counseling Center, Vitality Unlimited, and Friends in Service Helping. She earned a certification as a peer recovery support specialist and has volunteered with Carson City Alano Club and Wylie House. She is working towards a bachelor’s degree in social work.
“When we interviewed Jodi, we were so impressed with her experience and desire to do what she is doing. She told us that the Center Manager position is her dream job. That told us that this is not just a job for her, but a vocation,” NOTS President Deacon Craig LaGier said.
The NOTS warming center was founded six years ago after four homeless people died of hypothermia while sleeping outdoors. Since opening the center, no one has died from exposure to the cold in Carson City.
The NOTS warming center is hosted in the Winter months by a different church each month. More than 100 volunteers serve during the Winter to support the shelter.
NOTS also works to connect clients with city agencies and other non-profit organizations to address the issues that contribute to being unhoused. These issues include medical problems, difficulty finding affordable housing, and lost documents required for job interviews.
