Intensive Community Services Case Manager

Houses of Hope supports Nebraska communities by empowering individuals impacted by substance use and mental health to achieve recovery and independence, build healthy relationships, and give back to their communities.

Houses of Hope is hiring a full-time Intensive Community Services Case Manager for our Targeted Services Coordination Program (TASC). Case Managers assist with planning and problem-solving to overcome obstacles faced by high utilizers identified within the behavioral health system, with goals of improved individual outcomes and reduced overall costs to the behavioral health system.
