DIVISION OVERVIEW: The Housing Division provides safe, affordable housing paired with wraparound supportive services to individuals and families who have experienced chronic homelessness, mental illness, substance use disorders, or other significant barriers to stability. Guided by Housing First principles, the division works to promote long-term housing stability, improve health and well-being, and foster independence by integrating case management, clinical supports, and community engagement. Through partnerships with public agencies, funders, and community organizations, the division advances the nonprofit’s mission to reduce homelessness and create equitable pathways to housing security and self-sufficiency.

The Case Manager provides specialized case management and care coordination in securing stable
housing and accessing essential services. The Case Manager conducts comprehensive housing
screenings and assessments of social determinants of health to inform individualized stabilization plans
for immediate and long-term goals. The Case Manager works closely with clients to navigate complex
service systems and reduce barriers to accessing housing stability. The Case Manager also facilitates
timely referrals to community-based providers, behavioral health services, and support programs based
on each client’s assessed level of care. All services are delivered with a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that honors the client’s personal readiness, and willingness to engage in care and
support.

Position Summary: The B.R.I.D.G.E To Home (B2H) Program serves individuals returning from Illinois prisons who face significant and often compounded barriers to successful reentry. Frequently excluded from traditional housing and support systems, these individuals are at increased risk of homelessness and recidivism. The program’s primary goal is to provide permanent supportive housing for individuals traditionally considered hard to place, creating a foundation for long-term stability and successful reintegration into the community. Guided by low-barrier, housing placement principles, the B2H Program eliminates preconditions such as abstinence or mandatory treatment participation, offering immediate access to housing.
