Kelly Safe Haven is a 60- bed residence for chronically street homeless individuals who are living with mental illness and/or substance abuse. The program offers assistance in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. The Housing First/Harm Reduction Model is used to engage people who otherwise may not accept services.

The Social Worker will carry a caseload and provide entitlements assistance, counseling, advocacy, referrals and information, crisis intervention, engagement, monitoring, regular outreach, psycho-education, escorting to various appointments within the community, and coordination of care with outside service providers. The Social Worker is additionally expected to assist in program planning, development and implementation of group services, as well as close collaboration with the team’s Clinical Supervisor in leadership of the team.

The social worker will receive weekly clinical supervision that meets the requirements for LCSW hours and will have access to all CUCS agency trainings.
