As part of the multi-disciplinary team, the successful candidate will be responsible for providing a variety of social work services, including working with housing providers and additional care teams to assist ACT clients in their housing. Comprehensive awareness of housing resources and an understanding of personal and systemic housing barriers is essential. This position requires skill in assessment of risk, mental status, and addictions.
