The Veterans Outreach Housing Case Manager will work as part of the Veterans Outreach Team, and collaboratively with the Behavioral Health Outreach Team and the Overnight Van. Specific services include providing street outreach, case management, connection to legal services, financial stabilization, housing services, connection to benefits and employment, access to medical, behavioral health and/or substance use treatment, and referrals to other community agencies. Housing services will include assistance with housing application processes for permanent housing opportunities, referrals to transitional housing, and rental assistance. The Veterans Outreach Housing Case Manager will maintain client records in HMIS and will meet or exceed program outcomes related to housing and case management. The Veterans Outreach Housing Case Manager will meet homeless veterans in office settings, shelters, the streets, treatment programs, and medical respite programs. They will develop and maintain a solid knowledge base of veterans benefits and services, and develop relationships with veterans services partners throughout the city and state.


The Veterans Outreach Housing Case Manager will:

  • Assertively advocate for veterans in getting access to housing, benefits, treatment, and services that will assist in self-sufficiency.
  • Leverage client strengths, assets, and existing supports to move individuals quickly off the street, out of shelters to any other safer place or housing.
  • Recognize the impact of violence and victimization on development and coping strategies
  • Employ an empowerment model.
  • Use a strengths-based, client-centered approach
  • Maximize choices and control over recovery based in a relational collaboration.
  • Create an atmosphere that prioritizes the individual’s need for safety, respect and acceptance.
  • Emphasize client strengths, highlighting adaptations over symptoms and resilience over pathology.
  • Minimize the possibilities of re-traumatization.
  • Strive to be culturally competent and to understand each person in the context of their life experiences and cultural background.
  • Work within a harm reduction model
  • Use a trauma-informed lens in serving clients and advocating within systems
  • The Veterans Outreach Housing Case Manager will work from the following principles:
  • Shelter is a temporary safety net, not a home.
  • All individuals experiencing homelessness, regardless of their housing history and duration of homelessness, can achieve housing stability in permanent housing.
  • Sobriety, compliance in treatment, or a clean criminal history is not necessary to succeed in housing. Rather, in a Housing First model, these things are better achieved once someone is stably housed.
