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.

Due to the community housing focus of the HUD-VASH program, the work is to be done where the veteran resides, therefore, 70% or more of the HUD-VASH case manager time will be spent at a community location other than the VAMC or CBOC.

The lead will not only promote effectiveness in the incumbent's social work function but oversee the effectiveness of other HUD-VASH staff.
