Who We Are

ColumbiaCare is a non-profit, behavioral health and Veterans service agency offering a full spectrum of programming to help people get better. We are more than a company. We are a diverse team of individuals who are in the business of changing people's lives. We specialize in providing outpatient services, residential treatment programs, mental health housing, and other supports in beautiful and therapeutic service settings. We promote the whole health and wellbeing of the individuals and communities we serve.

We welcome persons from historically underrepresented groups to apply. We seek applicants who can demonstrate experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and who will contribute to our mission, vision, and core values.

About the Program

The Veterans Resource Center connects Veterans and their families with the services they need – starting with securing a roof over their heads. The VRC is focused on the overall wellness and reintegration of Military Veterans of all eras. With a primary focus on housing assistance, access to treatment, case management, and outreach, we take a holistic approach to addressing the individual needs of each Veteran. The Grant and Per Diem housing program (GPD) is a transitional housing program serving Veterans that have experienced homelessness and need assistance reintegrating back into the community. It is a shared living program, where the Veterans each have an assigned case manager that formulates service plan goals for them to work on during their stay.

Specialists will assist veterans with helping Veterans integrate into transitional housing and maintain their stability while working toward long term goals (including housing, sobriety, and daily living skills) and other related activities that helps veterans with self-sufficiency. This position works in direct support of the service plan and case management services provided by the assigned team, and strives to assist the Veterans in working toward their goals in order to achieve as much independence as possible.
