The Lead HUD-VASH Case Manager, a professional social worker, functions as Eastern Kansas Health Care System's (EKHCS) Lead for Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program. The HUD-V ASH program which is located at both the Topeka and Leavenworth campuses is a collaborative effort, supported through HUD Section 8 rental assistance vouchers and VA' s provision of intensive case management services. The primary goal of HUD-VASH is to move veterans and their families out of chronic homelessness. The primary component of the program is VA case management services, designed to improve veteran's health and mental health, enhancing their ability to remain stable, housed and community-integrated.

The lead will not only promote effectiveness in the incumbent's social work function but oversee the effectiveness of other HUD-VASH staff. Veterans eligible for HUD-VASH come from a wide geographic area. Their health and mental health needs may be complex and require a high degree of clinical oversight and creative problem solving.
